An invitation was sent to all members asking for donations of one block to form a quilt. My aunt, Mary Bowman of Riverside, Ca. volunteered to sew the blocks together. The response was overwhelming! We have embraced the diversity of each Artist’s work in celebrating the joy of creating our quilt to share it with the world. Special thanks go to everyone that has participated in this historical project. June 6, 2008 DIANA BRACY-LAS VEGAS, NEVADA An added note: Maria C. Shell of Anchorage Alaska added the awesome border and her quilting is outstanding! This quilt is now being showcased in Houston's International Quilt Market/ Festival. The general public can view it Oct 30th. It is in a special category called "Patchwork Politics. This quilt will join my Fabric Mosaic of Obama and one of McCain. The McCain was a special request from Houston. You can see him on my Flckr site. Thanks so much for showcasing my art.

You have done a wonderful jod in describing the block. I do wish that I had a clearer picture where you could actually read the words. Since the quilt will travel back to me, here in Las Vegas, I will get another opportunity to take another photo. We have plans to have the quilt travel to as many states as possible and hopefully given to the Obama family. Thanks, Diana Thank you for showcasing my block.
