Hernandez has also made two Obama quilts that have gotten some attention. She has one in her possession (Yes We Did!) and the other (Obama Hawaiian Style) is with the curator from the National African American Museum and Cultural Center in Ohio. They are both in the book Journey of Hope Quilts inspired by President Barack Obama. A new exhibit starts in May with another of her quilts, Alabama Bombing.

She would love to have more Latina moms quilting with her at the Quilters’ Guild of Brooklyn and is inviting anyone interested to contact her at: [email protected].
