I just put an order in today. Can't wait to get them!! Very exciting!!

[Nancy R.]

When they come in, post a picture. I wanna see. Please.

[Nancy R.]

Sure will!

[Nancy R.]

Woohoo! I finished my second Alzheimer's quilt. Here's a picture:

And here is a detail of the quilting in the center:

I really like how it turned out!

I'm still collecting the quilts so I can mail them all together, so it'll be a little while before these are registered. But I'm making progress and have lots of plans!

Love the contrast with the blue and gold. Very nice. It's like a mini rhapsody.

[Renata L.]

Nancy, I love your Alzheimer's priority quilt, especially the quilting with the perfect pebbles and other fine stitching. It is beautiful! Renata

[Rita C.]

Wow Nancy, that looks just great. Your piping and binding look soooo good too. I can't wait to see what you do with the Tambani embroidery.

[Aileen K.]

I bought a quilt. Couldn't resist. I love daisies and they remind me of two people I love very much and miss.

Hi Clara, I see you are the proud owner of a Susan Cleveland quilt. As you can see the binding is perfect. I noticed a lot of conversation about binding this month. My binding either comes out good or it comes out "OMG. where did I go wrong"? This month I had to finish a doll swap quilt before going in for surgery. So what I did was watch Susan Cleveland's YouTube video called Piping Hot Binding. I did not have any piping in the house so I skipped that but use the rest of the method. It is a little weird sewing backwards. My corners and edges came out perfect. I did not hand sew the other side as the neck pain made that impossible for me. I machine sewed it in the same manner as adding the binding with the needle going down right next to the binding strip. It gave it a clean finish on the back. My quit was only 20 x 20" but it made a big difference on the finished product.

[Aileen K.]

Aileen,

Love that little guy! Hope you are recovering well from your surgery. Thanks for the binding tips!

I have not been on the forum for quite awhile so just today found out about this. I lost my father and his youngest sister to this life stealing disease. I am now just 2 years younger than my father when we lost him. I am also pretty busy but will try to make some more quilts for the cause this summer or fall. I did some when Ami first started the project.

[Maureen A.]

Welcome aboard. We are happy to have you. Thanks!!! Clara

Wow Nancy. Fabulous quilt. I would definitely buy it. I think a lot of the great ones I see go on auction. I'm sure yours will.
I don't ever seem to rememer about the auction. Great work.
