Alzheimer's Art Quilts in Houston at IQA Show

The International Quilt Show starts next Wednesday in Houston.  I have attended for the last 20 years and still get excited when I walk thru the doors.  The quilts are always wonderful, but I must confess that the rows and rows of vendors are my favorite part. 

I always stop by the Alzheimer's Art Quilt booth and buy a quilt or two to support this dedicated organization.  I have attached some information about this worthy cause below.  If you attend the show, stop by or check them out online.

Sign up for 2-3 hour time slots (and get free admission on the days you volunteer) or join the AAQI Text Brigade and help "as needed." Learn more and sign up here:
