Last Monday I got a random phone call from Mormon Women for Ethical Government, an organization I help lead in Colorado. A reporter from USA Today who lives in the Denver area wanted to do an article regarding a project MWEG is working on- Constitution Quilts.
Basically, women coming together to write quotes defending the constitution on quilt squares that would then be turned into quilts and hand delivered to our elected leaders in Washington DC, specifically Senator Michael Bennett and a representative from Greeley.
I was asked if I could organize and get women to come to an event on Saturday that the reporter could then come and do an article about.
Being me, of course I said yes- not quite knowing what I was organizing and how it would work. Regardless, the library was miraculously available, so I booked it, and then we started sending out emails and posting on Facebook, and we waited to see what would happen.
I couldn't believe it- but we had 15 women come! It was fantastic! We had an awesome time, and the quilt will be amazing. Come Mid-May there should be an article in USA Today about our project. We shall see.
