13,398 - In The Flow ($75.00) SOLD...sorry, this one went very quickly!
Michele Bilyeu
Salem, OR USA
Width: 8.25" Length: 11"
Materials/Techniques: Batiks and commercial cottons embellished with curved narrow-piecing and raw edge applique, metallic thread work and paint stick accents.
Artist Statement: Walking the path between caring for one's self and caring for others often creates the feeling of being overwhelmed, even submerged and walking under water. Sometimes flowing and sometimes turbulent, I seek to go 'into the flow' where I create bubbles of both time and space for myself and channel the energies into feeling the beauty of growth and deepening of my own inner strength, instead.

Dedication: For my mother, who now lives in a world of her own, and for my father who now does so as well. One lives here on earth, the other in the hereafter. Both are "In The Flow" in their own ways. May we all feel that sense of peace wherever we are.
This quilt has Fast Finish Triangles.
This quilt earned $75.00 for the AAQI
Won't you please support this cause and help me, as well? I have these quilts now available by purchase ..click on green button and it will take you to the AAQI 'For Sale' web page created for each individual quilt.
I have designed and donated over 52 quilts in the years that I have been supporting this amazing cause. Many of my quilts were created while I was living with my parents in my childhood home on Douglas Island, near Juneau, Alaska. Caring for my mother, full time along with my father, and then later..caring for him, as well.
It has been a challenging and intense labor of love but it has meant the world to me and I will continue to create and donate, as much as I possibly can..until AAQI closes up shop for good by the end of this year.
None of my quilts will be available for purchase after this time. And there are only an actual half dozen months left. I am so very close to having earned my $3,000 mile post for this group...the sale of these quilts would push me over that edge and not off the one that I am trying so very hard to earning funding to prevent...my own vicious DNA inheritance with a huge propensity towards Alzheimer's Disease or a related dementia.
Please help me, help us, help all who face the challenges of Alzheimer's Disease in their family by purchasing one ..or more..of my quilts.
Thank you so very, very much!
12,614 - Imperfectly Perfect in Every Way! still available!!!

Width: 8.5" Length: 11.5"
Designer: Original design Materials/Techniques: Free-form cutting, piecing, and hand quilting of Asian fabrics with perle cotton stitches and glass beads.
Artist Statement: Using my own form of liberated and free-form-improvisational piecing and quilting, I wanted to capture, as well as contrast, the perfection of the form and design of the Geisha with the random and free-wheeling imperfection of free form flying geese with the large bauble effect of glass beads.
Dedication: For my beloved mother who loved all things Asian, as she went from never feeling perfect in any way.... to being totally perfect in her very own special, and unique way. Advanced Alzheimer's disease has stolen all that she was, and had...physically, intellectually, and emotionally. Nevertheless, her inner spirit is still apparent to those of us who know and love her.
