My last few projects have been small wall quilts that were ultimately framed and donated to local charities for their art auctions. This photo shows the latest one in a series of altered flags that I have been creating for a few years now. I love making these!
This particular one, entitled Reproductive Freedom Flag, was donated to Planned Parenthood of Northeast Ohio (PPNEO) for their upcoming benefit on April 10. You'll have to look at this closely to appreciate the design in the blue part of the flag!
The first one that I made like this was presented as a gift to Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, when she was in Cleveland back in 2007. I made a second one in 2008, which was purchased in a silent auction at a PPNEO event by a fellow volunteer, Ellen Schermer.
One thing is certain: The quality of these flags going forward will be greatly improved, having recently taken a class on precision piecing from Harriet Hargrave!

Sorry this is in the comments - I didn't see an email option anywhere on your blog. I just read about your quilt in Connie Schultz's essay via my 70 year old mother in law's facebook page. (She's awesome.) I'm a quilter, and I know my MIL would absolutely love to have one of these for her very own. Would you mind if I borrowed (copied!) your idea?? I would love to know the method you used for printing the text. Thanks!
