Earlier this week, Ami Simms of the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative awarded $30,000 to
Dr. Sylvie Garneau-Tsodikova and her team at the Life Sciences Institute at the University of Michigan.
The researchers are developing a multi-functional drug for Alzheimer's disease.

It looks like the researchers bought some of the Priority quilts as well,
including mine, Slightly Off Kilter, which sold for $70.
Ami writes that it is unusual for AAQI volunteers to meet the researchers they fund.
I'm thinking it is unusual for people like me who make and donate Priority quilts
to know who buys our quilts.
But check out the pictures over there.

Cool!

I was so delighted to see that two members of our Liberated Quilting Challenge group had quilts selected from the ones that Ami and her amazing volunteers brought into show the Univ.of Michigan researchers when this fabulous check was presented. You should be so proud that you have a quilt that will be loved and appreciated and remind this wonderful research team of all of us who support them and the invaluable research that they do!
wheee! congrats on a wonderful quilt and knowing where it gets to live!
