“In the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.”

~Barack Obama

Flickr user craftingforobama uploaded these bags to the Obama Craft Project Flickr pool, and all we can say is wow-ee! These are part of an ongoing project to raise money to support the Obama campaign. Here’s what she has to say (from her fundraising page on barackobama.com):

I am an everyday person with a Singer 401A, a lot of energy and the conviction that Barack Obama is the person who needs to be in the White House. Immediately. For once, everyday people can truly make that happen….

…This effort of Mad Stitchery will roll from right now through Nov. 4, 2008.

Like the man said, we *are* one people, we *are* one nation and if work together now *we can* heal this nation down the road, and work to improve the world.

First you have to believe it’s possible. Then you will find within yourself a way to make it so.

I have never done something like this before. This is my small contribution toward the effort to save our nation.

You can read more about this effort and find out how you can snag yourself one of these from craftingforobama while also supporting the Obama campaign, by following this link.

Kiandra pieced and quilted this Obama campaign T-shirt that is, no exaggeration, one of the most stunning examples of a handmade campaign T-shirt we’ve seen. Here is her message about this project:

know the issues…find a way to support your cause…and make sure you vote (what ever your choice!)

i believe in the power of the vote…and above all, i’m happy that so many more of our young people are getting involved.

we can elicit change! we can make a change!

one love…one voice!

Flickr user LittleLumpkin in Lancaster, PA made this extraordinarily innovative quilted campaign banner to hang on her front porch.

Here’s what she has to say about this one-of-a-kind campaign sign:

I made this quilt out of the desire to have an Obama sign that would be visible at night. The lettters are cut out so that only the quilt backing layer is visible and at night the porch light shines through perfectly. Up close it looks like a 7th grade home-ec project, but from the street it looks great- that’s all that matters to me at this point.

(We would beg to differ that it looks at all like a 7th grade home-ec project—unless she’s talking about a mighty talented 7th grader…)

Yes We Can!
