The Community Quilt Project is supporting this wonderful organization by offering this star quilt in a drawing. The process started on July 15 and chances to enter will end tomorrow. Currently, we have raised $5427 for INDN's List -- a far cry from our stated goal of $10,000. With two days remaining (including today), will you help?
Two hundred people signed the diamond patches that make up this quilt at Netroots Nation in Austin, TX. Four more (Meteor Blades, Dengre, Ojibwa, and Winter Rabbit) signed the corner stars by mail. I spent several months putting it together, quilting it by hand, and decorating it with beadwork. It is one of the best things I have ever made, as a representation of our community and as a work of fiber art – and it could be yours.
Here is how the drawing works. Donate $10 or more to INDN’s List and you will receive a chance in the drawing – in fact, you will receive a chance for every day you donate $10 or more between now and August 15. If you cannot donate, you may enter by writing an essay of 50 words or less on this subject: "INDN's List's Mission -- Why it Benefits Everybody". Put the title in the subject line and email your essay on or before August 15, 2010 to communityquilts (at) yahoo (dot) com. If we find your essay to be topical, we will enter you for one chance in the drawing – one essay per person per day.
TODAY ONLY if you enter by donation or by essay, you will also be entered to win the additional prize of a beautiful silk scarf, hand dyed in shades of blue and pink (light red?) by Chun Yang. Please pitch in and make sure Chun Yang's generosity has a great effect for INDN's List today!

The drawing for the star quilt will take place the last day in August. The drawing for the silk scarf will take place tomorrow.
It’s a great cause. This is coming at a very good time for INDN's List -- and the whole organization is so grateful to this community for the help we are providing. If I may say so, the quilt is also a very special prize, one that represents our whole community, working together. Please give if you can.
