Sue Walen, has written a book about the experience, the quilts and the artists. This beautiful book, “President Obama: A Celebration in Art Quilts,” is now published and available online. All profits from the book will go to scholarship funds for art students at Montgomery College, the host for the Quilt Show held February 9-March 5th.

Sue Walen writes, “The ObamaQuilters are 60 fiber artists who formed a grassroots, all-volunteer, multi-ethnic group of quilters from all across America. We produced a vibrant quilt show, which was held at the Cafritz Art Center of Montgomery College in Maryland, from Feb. 9-March 5, 2009. This book is based on that show, and includes photos of the quilts, the quilters, and copies of the artist statements, which in many cases, are as moving as the quilts themselves. We ObamaQuilters are excited to share our passion for art quilts and our gratitude for being alive to see the historic election of President Barach Obama come to pass.”
