"Trapped at Boarder.... send cash, covfefe, hamberders and blondes!"
This piece was created for the Project Quilting week 5 challenge: Abecedarius.
Although I like doing handwork, and especially embroidered words, I knew that the tight timeline to achieve this challenge meant doing something a little different. I had the idea to do a collage-style ransom note, for someone trapped with a request for chocolate (because I knew I had fabric with the word chocolate on it.) But my friend Kimberly pushed me towards doing a political piece, and even suggested some of the final phrases.
First, I gathered some fabric from my stash that has words on it:
I started cutting letters out of the fabric:
Then glued each letter on the background:
Finally I machine quilted around each letter and in waves below each line of text:
The name "Executive Time" refers to the 'down' time the current occupant of the White House spends watching TV and tweeting each day. I imagined that he would be writing these kinds of messages during that time. Its full of his ridiculous misspellings and immature desires.
I can hardly wait for the end of this era.
Peace,
Paula
