Zarra, thank you for buying my "Split Daisy" quilt. It is one of my favorites of the eight that I made for AAQI. One of my quilts was also in the auction so now I have sold two. ( I didn't make as much money as Clara but I am pleased with how well they went) I am working on a new group of quilts. I hope to do many more for AAQI. It was a charity dear to my heart because of many friends and family members who were victims of Alzheimer's Disease. Now that it has hit my own home (my dear husband was diagnosed with early Alzheimer's about 18 months ago) so now it is more than a charity close to my heart, it is a mission!!!! My life has turned upside down in a lot of ways. We are lucky, we are still able to do most of the things we had planned for our retirement, but since my husband has always been the primary driver, I know the day is coming when life will change forever. DH can still drive but sometimes "daydreams - in his words" and misses the exit or turns the wrong way. I am the one who is "directionally challenged" so now I have to be on alert and try and figure out the right way to go when I don't even have a clue. Oh well, life will go on and I will learn to cope. Just keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Hugs, Ann - the traveling quilter now back in Minnesota.
