Barbara Brackman Designs Obama Fabric - You can print it!


Thanks to quilt historian Barbara Brackman, author of Facts & Fabrications: Unraveling the Story of Quilts and Slavery, for sharing the following. She has created an Obama fabric pattern in a PDF file that you can download and print onto fabric with an inkjet printer. The Obama print features images of the new US President as well as President George Washington. Click here to get Obama fabric PDF.

AND, Barbara also has a PDF print featuring President Obama and Vice President Biden. Click here to get this PDF. Special shout out to Deb Rowden, who created this Obama's Rising Star block using Barbara's prints.

Barbara suggests that "You need 8 1/2 x 11" fabric sheets that are treated to make them light fast and wash resistant. Check out this web page for Electric Quilt's treated sheets: Electric Quilt." Enjoy!

Thanks for posting these pdfs. I've been looking for images with which to make a momento of the Obama presidency, and these are perfect.

These are wonderful! I'll add a link to this from my President Obama coloring picture-it's been quite popular as well.

Unusual fabric. However I think Obama became president in 2009 not 2008.
