Yes We Can, Jane Is Shown

Last week I had the opportunity to show off the “Yes We Can, Jane” quilt to the Evening Star Quilters in Davison, Michigan.  This quilt was started via a Yahoo Group of quilters from all over the world after President Obama was elected, and will be given to him whenever he leaves office.  It will be hand quilted by then.  The quilt is a mixture of traditional blocks and blocks which were designed by the maker to represent something important in the Obama presidency.

  1. that is so neat, I left the Dear Jane group on yahoo ages ago but I remember they were talking about making one for the president. Do you know if the quilt that was made for president was ever delivered to him, I have seen no pictures of him receiving it.

  2. I meant to say do you know if the quilt made for president Bush was ever given to him?
