I embellished the quilt with coins from Ireland by the Irish pictures, a baseball and glove by the picture of Camden Yards, a guitar by her husband playing the guitar, and a number of other meaningful things.
I gave it to Joanne at her surprise party and it was sure the hit of the party. After she opened it the people standing around her reminded me of the pedals of a big flower closing. You couldn't get close to the quilt for a long time. There was a retired Marine there who kept crying and telling me that he had flown many bombing missions over Viet Nam and the quilt was the most awesome thing he had ever seen. I later sent his wife information on your book and your photo-transfer paper so I sure hope she makes him something.
