For those of you who don't already know, The Quilt Show, starring Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims is an online quilting show. They (collectively and personally) have been very supportive of the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative.

My sister Beth Hartford and I flew to Boulder for the taping of this show. We, along with Susan Pain and Kathy Kennedy-Dennis, were "roadies" for Ami Simms. The show was REALLY well done, it was fascinating to be behind the scenes, and Ami was terrific! The show explained a bit about what the AAQI does and why we do it, and unveiled a part of the new travelling exhibit Alzheimer's Illustrated: From Heartbreak to Hope.
