Put your money where your mouth is.
In the past five years, I have helped Connie with our sales booth at many quilt shows. Although I am not a quilter, I learned the process to make a Pacific Rim 2 Fabric Applique and Hawaiian quilt. I am able to demonstrate the process to a customer when Connie is with another customer. I am sometimes asked: “are YOU a quilter?” “No, but I am told the process is easy”
Unlike Connie, I have no artistic ability, and I cannot sew. But in order to save face, someday, I am going to have to sew a quilt. Maybe when I am retired???
But when I saw the new free Vote pattern, I decided that I could make a yard sign using the pattern. I found some scrap wood and paint samples. I traced the pattern on a wood board using our transfer paper. That was the easy part. Drawing (or painting) within the lines has not been my strong suit. I finished the sign and it is proudly displayed in our yard. It looks great… from more than 10 feet away. Does this count is a quilt project? Sort of? Do I now have the right to demonstrate the 2 Fabric Applique process? Maybe? Well, it is a start.

Stay safe, wear your mask, social distance, and Vote. AND, keep quilting.
