I finished an Obama Logo Quilt last week and put it up on eBay as a fundraiser. There are 2 days left in the auction and I'm posting it on DailyKos again so everyone who wants to bid gets the chance!
All proceeds from the auction wil be donated to the Obama Campaign, up to $2,200 (yes, I've got that much room on the individual cap!). Any overage (which at this point looks quite unlikely) will be donated to an Orange to Blue candidate.
Pics over the jump!
This quilt is 81"x112" and made from white & blue jeans and red pin-whale courderoy. It fits a double bed and is nicely heavy and warm! It is a "tied" quilt with ties at each intersection of the jean squares and in regular intervals within the logo, following the design lines.
This has been my way of contributing to the election efforts as personal finances and personality limitations have prevented me from phone-banking, canvassing or donating out-of-pocket. But I still have the resource of a well-stocked fabric room and time to stitch things up.
I heard Obama speak at a rally in Manchester, NH and I was moved by his call to service. It was evident that he valued all forms of service and encouraged folks to find the niche that worked for them. This is mine!
Thanks to everyone who has bid on the quilt to date!
