Almost ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!
At
one point, the Board of Directors realized that a goal was needed so
that we could make a commitment to reach it and then to reassess the
future of the AAQI. There has been a great deal of thought about the
future of the AAQI and about the personal passions and goals guiding
each of us.
So, with all of that in mind, we have reached the consensus that the AAQI fund raising efforts will close at the end of 2013. We will continue to donate quilts through June of this year, to sell them and to raise additional funding for AAQI with the goal of hitting that million dollar mark with one big, gigantic, and fabulous hurrah for everything that Ami has done, her fabulous core group of volunteers have done, and most of all.....every single thing that every single one of US has done to bring this group to this awesome finish line!

I am so proud that in spite of my own crazy busy life, I have still managed to create quilts for this amazing organization. Now, in this end stretch, it becomes even more important that I do all that I can to earn money to donate for this wonderful cause.
Please help and support me in this quest. We need purchasers for our quilts now, more than ever. I have still two up for sale on my $1,000 promise page. And three more that need to be listed there as soon as they are registered and photographed.
