It's simple to bid and Jenny encourages her friends to check out all the quilts up for
auction. Hope for a Cure is 16" x 20" and the other quilts are no larger than 9" x 12".
Over $700,000 has been raised and donated to Alzheimer's research in the last six
years. An amazing feat considering the small amount the quilts are sold for.
Thousands of these little quilts have been made and donated to this cause. Jenny has
bought at least 30, each a beautiful piece of art. One of her favorites was made by
Barb Vlack. It makes her heart happy to make and donate as we'll as purchase, knowing
that maybe we are getting closer to finding a cure for this horrible disease.
Did you know that if you live to 85, you have a one in two chance of developing
Alzheimer's?
Bid on one of these little quilts to fund research.
