Election History

Quilts can be be made for any reason,

to celebrate any occasion,

to commemorate any event.

 On the eve of this

Presidential Election,

this is a quilt that I made

to commemorate and remember

 the presidential election in 2000.

Our Next President is...?

 40" x 54"

We all watched history unfolding 

that evening as different reports 

came and went through the media.

Was our next 43rd  president,

Republican George W. Bush or

 Democrate Al Gore?

Over the course of time,

 we all learned more about 

recounts,

butterfly baloots,

dimpled ballots,

absentee ballots

and just how important

a state's electoral votes were.

We watched as our country

worked through various conflicts and procedcures

in a peaceful way to determine the 

outcome of that election.

With another close election

on our doorstep,

take the time to vote.

Your vote does matter.

Until Next Time-
