Did you have trouble with hanging chads on your ballot? Bored with Gore? Tired of Beating Around the Bush? Don't get mad about it. Quilt about it. With the historical outcome of this Presidential Election hanging on by a thread we decided to have a little fun.

Before women had the right to vote they expressed their political sentiments in quilts. Some traditional quilt blocks used in many quilts of the 1800s are the Whig Rose, Clay's Choice, Fifty-Four Forty or Fight, Whig's Defeat and Presidential Rose. The Women's Christian Temperance Union fought for temperance in alcohol, women's rights and child labor laws. A popular pattern used to express their cause was the Drunkard's Path.

This year women across the country expressed their sentiments about the Presidential election by helping us make a quilt. 12 1/2" (raw edge) quilt blocks using a favorite sewing technique were submitted by Feb 12, 2001. After the hand recounts are complete, we are planning on combining all the blocks into a quilt that we will exhibit around the country at quilt shows.

Easier than punching a hole in a ballot, right!
