Pandemic Quit travels the USA 2020-2025, a 5-year project by one amazing young man
Williams Pandemic Quilt Journey
And so it begins...
William was sent home by the schools, like so many other kids, and his mother took time off work to take care of his educational needs. She taught him to sew, quilt, and plan a massive project to take his quilt around the country. William was a Junior in High School at the time. William made three pandemic quilts in total, one which is the large quilt that is seen in all the photos at the Capitols and State border crossing signs, and they also made two smaller quilts. One of the smaller quilts is in the CDC in Atlanta, Georgia and the other is in Tangled Threads Quilt Store in Lynden, Washington. William choose the Pandemic Quilt as his project to stand the test of time as an iconic piece of history that he made which holds through the fabric, a memory of a time that took so much from everyone.
The plan:
USA 2020-2025
Beyond USA- the World= "Life Goal"
Generate excitement
William learned to write the Governor's offices and local, regional, and national news as he made his way across the country. He met and contacted local businesses along the way that supported him such as KOA and local quilt stores that he featured on the Create it Studios Facebook group which William is an admin and to which he posted his photos for fellow quilters across the country to see. William had several families from the Create it Studios Facebook group host him too from time to time along his path.
