Today is the last day to enter a chance to win this quilt, signed at NN12 in Providence. Rules are below the orange squiggle! But first, lets review some of the wonderful diaries that have been posted in this fundraiser for Darcy Burner -- and what they say about Darcy and her campaign for the WA-01 Congressional seat. Take a look through them to learn more about Darcy Burner and where she stands on issues that are important to progressives. Many beloved DK diarists contributed their time for this blogathon -- thank you each and every one!

The rules of the drawing:
The entire month of July will be a quilt fundraiser for Darcy Burner, candidate for Congress, WA-01. There will be a drawing for the quilt signed in Providence at NN12 the first week in August. Everyone can get one chance per day, each and every day in July by EITHER donating $10 or more to Darcy Burner's campaign through this Act Blue page OR by writing a 50-word-or-less essay on this topic: How can we bend the arc of history more towards justice for all?. If we deem your essay to be on topic, it will count for a chance. Send essays to winglionquilts AT gmail DOT com with "Darcy Burner" in the subject line. To recap, earn an equal chance once a day every day in July by either donating or sending a short essay (one or the other). That means everyone who began at the beginning can have as many as thirty-one equal chances in this drawing. The first week in August, I will find a neighborhood child to do the drawing and someone will become the new owner of the quilt.
Quilt stats: It will be about 66" square, sleeved for hanging. The fabric is cotton, the batting a fine wool. I am quilting it by hand and am close to finishing it.
