top of the quilt signed in Providence
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 more than a third done. It will be finished by the end of July.

It would be great to have a diary every day in July about this fundraiser and about different aspects of Darcy Burner's campaign -- lots of issues to choose from! I have set up a group for these diaries, -- so follow the group so as not to miss any! If you will be writing a diary, I will add you to the group.
Here is a quilt fundraiser diary schedule for July. Please let me know in the comments if you would like to post a diary. Thank you!
