Heartbreak to Hope will be at Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival

I am excited to learn today that the Azheimer's Art Quilt Initiative traveling exhibit called Heartbreak to Hope will be at the Mancuso show, Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival Feb 23-26.

The Founder, Ami Simms, will be there, near the quilts, to meet and greet. Look for her at the Preview night on Wednesday and on Sunday.

My piece, "Running Out of Time" is one of the small 9"x12" pieces in the exhibit.

If you are going to the show, please stop by and check out this very moving exhibit.

I get excited every time I hear of a new venue. Our quilts are really traveling...oh, the stories they could tell!

I've seen part of the show in Boulder on the TQS set and I saw it in Madison, WI - unfortunately not set up correctly. Even with the wrong layout it was powerful and gave out a lot of hugs. I hope Mid Atlantic does a great job with set up - this show deserves it!

I saw this show in Madison, WI last year and it is truly amazing. You can immerse yourself emotionally and physically in the overwhelming heartbreak - at the same time reading the smaller quilt stories and knowing that quilters everywhere are working so hard to raise research funds. That's where the HOPE comes in.
