Last fall, Phoebe and I purchased a quilt in Houston from the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative. It’s a small wall quilt, made by Barbara Chojnacki of Westerly, RI, that she made and donated to help raise awareness and fund research to find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. You can read more about the project here; be sure to have a look at the quilt the next time you’re in the shop.

For the last several months, I’ve been working on – with help! – this quilt for the American Cancer Society’s Cure By Design fashion show.  It will be the backdrop for the runway.  The event is this Saturday evening, and the quilt is finally FINISHED, label and all!  These pictures are taken with Rick and Phoebe holding the quilt off the balcony of our house, because I didn’t have any place else high enough to hang it.  So it’s got some sun and shadows on it, but you get the idea.  Deb Jacobs did the quilting on this baby, and, well, she’s just INCREDIBLE!
