A few weeks ago I decided to be artsy and make something.
As I rifled through my talents, desired outcomes
and possible projects I came up with:
Jonah and Charlotte Barnes - Currently pregnant with Baby Boy Barnes (aka O'Barna)
Birthday sewing machine still unused
Oncoming cold months and depressing weather
Plus: I'm mormon and I've never made a quilt.
I figured I should change that.
So I busted out my sewing machine, took a trip to Walmart and concocted this quilt.
Yup. Republican and Democrat cloth. Ballin!!!
Here's the inspiration:
I met Jonah through Austin Secrist. Both are avid Conservatives/Republicans. (Avid isn't strong enough. Fanatical would be more appropriate.) Charlotte comes from a liberal background, similar to me. They are currently expecting their first child, a boy (who will be named Barack Barnes or Hilary Barnes. Or both.) and so I figured a blanket representing the dichotomy he will be born into would be perfect.
I love the quilt and I'm really proud of how it turned out.
But I love Jonah and Charlotte more. I am so excited to meet the newest little one in a month.

I had actually come up with purple donkephant has a potential Facebook page where all commentary could be made without any betrayal or negativity. I typed in purple elephonkey and came across your post. As I first read the above comment I had to smile because I thought you were really trying to be a Centrist while your dad was expecting your left perspective, when in actuality as I read it a second time you were simply talking about the alignment. That was a great gift that you gave.
