Note from Sherry Whitford (purchaser): “I am thrilled to be the person who won the bid on Stamp Out Alzheimer’s Forever. It is so beautifully designed and executed that I can hardly stop looking at it! You achieve what I aspire to and I have admired your quilts in several auctions. … It looked great online, but it is far more spectacular “up close and personal”. I’m torn between hanging it immediately and carrying it with me to meetings to show to my quilting friends – and wouldn’t they be sorry that they weren’t bidding!”
