Alzheimer's Foundation of America Quilt Tour 2011

The Alois Alzheimer Center Quilt Panel

In 2007 the Alois Alzheimer Center was invited to be a part of the Alzheimer Foundation of America exhibit and to submit a quilt panel. We approached the very talented, Moya Jones, a family member, who eagerly accepted! Moya designed and created a quilt panel that would represent our Center as a part of the Alzheimer's Foundation of America Quilt to Remember. Moya took great care to make a panel that reflected "who we are," and how better to do that than have photos of our residents stitched on each corner of our quilt panel.

In 2006 the Quilt was unveiled in NY City, Central Park. Since then the Tour has visited many states across the nation bringing awareness to Alzheimer's disease. With the panels laid out side by side the Quilt is now 12,640 square feet! That is more than the length of four Olympic-size swimming pools!
