7th Anniversary of the Community Quilt Project -- a request
The Book of Faces does not lie...it was seven years ago today that I mailed the very first community quilt to Othniel.
Community Quilt Project Subscription Pledge Drive Kick-Off
By peregrine kate
Last week Aji wrote a deeply-felt and compelling diary on behalf of two of our most beloved community members, Sara R and winglion (Ann), who are the creators of the Community Quilt project on Daily Kos. That diary did its job; the original quilt sisters have survived their immediate financial crisis.

The Daily Kos Community Quilt - a Virtual Tour

My sister and I were so happy when Markos Moulitsas asked if we might do a community quilt to hang in the new Daily Kos offices. What a great idea! Many of you provided messages and we made a quilt with them, featuring blocks that we have used in prior community quilts. WARNING: Photo heavy diary!
