The Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative (AAQI) just received their 12,000th quilt! This little beauty was made by someone pretty famous in the quilting community. Can you guess who it was?
It was made by Charlotte Warr Andersen. Charlotte is most recognized for her realistic applique portraits. She has purchased four Priority: Alzheimer's Quilts made by supporters of the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative. They hang in her sewing room.
The 9" x 12" landscape represents another milestone for the all-volunteer charity dedicated to raising awareness and funding research through art. And, you can own it!
"Outside Juneau, AK 2012" is based on a photograph Charlotte took on a trip to Alaska and will be available for purchase in the AAQI's October online auction at http://www.alzquilts.org/quiltauction.html.
