Beth spoke about Alzheimer's Illustrated: From Heartbreak to Hope, the AAQI's new traveling exhibit which has been touring the United states since March. She has a quilt in the traveling exhibit.Beth shared several Name Quilts on camera as well as some Priority: Alzheimer's Quilts, inviting quilters everywhere to thread their needles and help us fight Alzheimer's.
The Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative wishes to thank Nancy Zieman for this opportunity to share our mission to raise awareness and fund Alzheimer's research with a wider audience. And, we especially want to congratulate Beth Hartford on her first television appearance!
It was your appearance on Sewing with Nancy that made me aware of AAQI. Since that time, I have spent several hours (and plan to spend several more) just looking at the Priority Quilts and being inspired by them. Earlier this week, I sent in my first Priority Quilt. I hope to send in several more as time and creativity allow.
