Some additional signatures will be set as a single stars in the background – navajo will be gathering those.
This quilt is a gift to the Native American people with best wishes. You can see from this diary what is contemplated for the first three quilts the Street Prophets community has produced. What would the Native American Netroots like to do with this one? I like the idea of making a fund for helping a remote reservation with wiring for internet (as was discussed at the Native American Netroots Caucus at Yearly Kos in Chicago) – but I wouldn’t presume to choose. The choice is yours.
I ask because I would like to have the ultimate purpose of the quilt in my head and my heart as I sew. For me, stitching is a prayerful exercise – so I want to be as clear as I can when I do this.
I’ll share more photos as this quilt comes together.
signatures!
I have mailing addresses for Carter Camp and Dengre. I would like to get Meteor Blades sig, I’ll email him today. Thanks for writing this diary, it will make it easier to explain to MB.
Let’s hear in the comments any suggestions about how to use these proceeds.
It will take some time to finish the quilt and then do the fund raising. Rain when do you think all that will be done? Sometime next year?
Rain, I think this will be your best quilt ever. I love the colors!
Here are some photos of the quilt project:
Austin 2008
Chicago 2007
Winter Rabbit! I’ll email him today also.
I just read the list of sigs again more slowly and all I can say is Wow…just WOW.
I feel more like a channel than a creator on this one, honestly. I had an idea — but when I pinned the patches to the board I was gobsmacked. You know, one of those “Did I really do this?” moments.
It’s going to take some time to put it together. I quilt by hand and it does take awhile. I’d like to show it at the Northwest Quilters’ quilt show in March — which is timed to coincide with the celebration of the 150th anniversary of Oregon’s Statehood (I live in Portland). I’d like the people here to see it. And then I hope it will travel a bit and be blessed. The itinerary will be clear in time, I am sure.
I think the time to raffle it will be the next Netroots Nation meeting. Let us see how it works with the first three quilts first — they should be handled through Act Blue fairly soon (knock wood). Then we’ll have the experience to know the best course.
are from Street Prophets. The one in white is shakti, the one in orange is loggersbrat.
shall have his own star. Absolutely.
Hello, this past week I’ve been sundancing so I’ve just read this. It looks like the quilt project was a good success and the star quilt is beautiful. Just my opinion but as nice as the quilt is the money for it won’t go far in “wiring for the internet” which I assume would cost millions. Then again I don’t have any better suggestions:).
n’est pas?
at least something…
as opposed to nothing.
just kidding
as the diarist requests; what are your ideas for where this money goes?
Breathtaking.
I’ll email her.
