Obama and Quilts
Yes, you can get your own Obama fabric to make a quilt. I love it!
Barbara Brackman, a quilt historian and author has created this and posted the pdf on the Black Threads blog - http://blackthreads.blogspot.com.
From there I found an article in The Telegraph.com about a quilting group that has created a wonderful quilt that includes photos of all four people that ran in the election. They documented the historic race that included a woman vice presidential candidate and of course, the first black presidential candidate!
The quilt was sewn and quilted by the "Busy Fingers" quilt club, made up of members Mattie Jean Miller, Georgia Bratton and 11 other members in Alton, IL. The women created a quilt with the presidential hopefuls in the top left and right corner and the two vice president candidates in the lower left and right corners. The quilt was made just in time for the December 6th open house of the Trinity Lutheran Church in Alton, it is not permanently hung anywhere at present.
Check out the Black Threads blog, there will be more, no doubt. They have a tag for "Quilts for Obama."
