"Love Notes to the Future"
Darcy Burner is a progressive candidate who impressed my sister and me -- so we did a fundraiser for her. Every day during the whole month of July, everyone could earn a chance to win the quilt that was signed at NN12 in Providence. The rules were as follows:
The entire month of July will be a quilt fundraiser for Darcy Burner, candidate for Congress, WA-01. There will be a drawing for the quilt signed in Providence at NN12 the first week in August. Everyone can get one chance per day, each and every day in July by EITHER donating $10 or more to Darcy Burner's campaign through this Act Blue page OR by writing a 50-word-or-less essay on this topic: How can we bend the arc of history more towards justice for all?. If we deem your essay to be on topic, it will count for a chance. Send essays to winglionquilts AT gmail DOT com with "Darcy Burner" in the subject line. To recap, earn an equal chance once a day every day in July by either donating or sending a short essay (one or the other). That means everyone who began at the beginning can have as many as thirty-one equal chances in this drawing. The first week in August, I will find a neighborhood child to do the drawing and someone will become the new owner of the quilt.
The quilt is about 65" square, cotton fabric with a fine wool batting, and was hand quilted by me. It is full of interesting messages (love notes to the future) by these people:

Darcy Burner LOVES DK! by Patriot Daily News Clearinghouse
I listed the donors and essay writer on a spreadsheet and assigned a ticket number to each. At the end of the month, there were 95 tickets in the can -- representing 94 donations and one essay.
Yesterday, an able team of innocent children made the selection, impartially. The winning ticket is displayed!
I checked the ticket number to my spreadsheet. And the winner is..... [drum roll....]
peregrine kate! Congratulations, peregrine kate!
Now, the rest of us will be winners if Darcy Burner gets the WA-01 Congressional seat. Her primary is tomorrow and she needs all the help we can give her. You can still donate to her campaign by clicking on the thermometer. Thank you!
