Let's Help Ami Get 10,000 Names
 The Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative is gathering 10,000 names to honor and remember friends and family members who have Alzheimer's, or a related dementia.
It is not too late to have your friend or family member's name written on a purple patch for the Name Quilts that will be part of the "Alzheimer's Illustrated: From Heartbreak to Hope" traveling quilt exhibit.
To learn more about Ami Simms' project, click on the purple patches.

Well, now you can be the fabric designer. There are a number of websites available where you design the fabric and they print it and ship it to your door. Click here to learn more.
