DNC 2016
This is what I did during the week of the convention. I had the donkeys from the swap, I had the piece that Tricia machine embroidered, I had the Spoonflower Hillary fabric for the 2016 and, of course, the paper-pieced logo. Liz made the block with the Liberty Bell in the background; she had traced the design with permanent pen. Because Philadelphia was important to me in this historic event, I spent one convention night hand embroidering over Liz's design. Another evening was devoted to hand-buttonholing the 2016. Today, despite an annoying back spasm, I was able to get it all together. I'm hoping that over the weekend I can sandwich and machine quilt; I'd love to be binding this on Tuesday night when our hand-quilting group meets.

How did you make the Hillary logo block? I've been trying to figure out how to piece it. Did you to the point of the arrow in two pieces?
I love the photograph in the link below and the various colors--very quilt like.
I am considering making pin cushions for friends--who will see the utility and not mistake it in a negative way in putting pins into the logo!

Wishing you well as you aim to be ready to hand stitch binding by Monday night bedtime.
Hugs!
