Carol Doesn't Quilt These

Holly Stewart of Kansas City has an art exhibit at the University of Missouri- Kansas City called "Local Grandmother Quilts Giant Penises". Holly reports she got her interest in the art form from her time working at a sex toy factory. She was looking for a job on Craigslist and saw an ad for a position that was "sex positive". When she looked at the ad it was for a de-molder in a dildo factory. She knew she wanted to be able to tell her grandchildren she had applied for the job. Getting the job, in her view, was even better. If I could perhaps editorialize for a moment. My grandmothers Harriet and Byrdis: THANK YOU! I cannot picture either one of them working that job or creating fabric penises. I am thankful that picture cannot form in my head. Back to Holly. She started a Kickstarter campaign to bring her creations to the gallery. She had a goal of raising $250 but ended up raising $308. Her pledge levels were: Schlittle, Chub, Schlong, Hard On, and Throbber and featured rewards like "a small bag of sequin semen". On to the pictures.
