Off Topic - Farm Aid Trivia

[Virgs Sew n Sew]

I have a customer whose daughter is the Fund Raising Director for Farm Aid.  Who even knew that Farm Aid was still around?

This year's Farm Aid (Sept 19th) will be #30.  Corporate is in New Hampshire (I think that is what Janet said), I would have thought Texas (Willie) or Indiana (Mellencamp).

I mention this because I was contracted by Janet to embroider some quilt blocks for a quilt that she is donating.  It will either be available as part of Farm Aid Live or through their web site.  It's a simple T-shirt quilt.  It encompasses the #1 T-shirt purchased by customers on their web.  It's a funny.  Says "Farmers" then has a karate guy in position to kick and then has a jackass.  It's a 12 block quilt, her technique is called shadow box.  Anyway, she has 9 of the farmer blocks.  Then I embroidered 1985 on one block, 2015 on one block and "Farm Aid Keep America Growing!" on the third block. 

I'm not sure when this will be available or if it will be on the web or shown on Farm Aid.  I'm going to peruse the web site and see if I can find it there.  If so, I'll post the linky so y'all can see one of my fun projects.
