CLARENDON — For many Vermonters, hands-on democracy means town meeting. For Kate Taylor, it's also a 400-square-and-counting "Chronicle Quilt of Outrage and Hope."

Taylor awoke at her Clarendon home one morning two years ago distressed about the warring world. Many of her friends were voicing their opinions on protest signs. Taylor, a quilter, asked them to pen their thoughts on 7-inch muslin squares so she could stitch together a literal blanket statement.
.
"Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can change the world," wrote professor Howard Zinn, author of "A People's History of the United States," on one of five squares he sent Taylor.

What started as a word-of-mouth project among family and friends has become a coast-to-coast effort, with an initial 50-square quilt spawning 13 others of various sizes.

2. Wow. That is fantastic!!!!

She should auction one of those! She could raise a huge awareness about the war and maybe make some money to help get us out of that God forsaken place.
