Every so often I meet someone and later get an email from them. Â This is one I wanted to share.
Sometime ago Kelli and I spoke at the guild meeting of the Muscatine, Iowa quilters. Â While there a gentleman came up and introduced himself to us. Â He told me about a quilt that he designed for his son who served our country in Afghanistan. Â I told him that I would love to see a photo of the quilt. Â Don was so kind and sent it to me. Â The quilt is so fitting for someone coming home…
I know many others of you will love seeing the quilt as it offers a lot of inspiration. Â Don is a hand quilter too.
I just love the quilt and was sure others of you would love seeing it as well.
Love seeing this, Jo! Remembering our soldiers and Marines is very special to a lot of us. My son is a Marine currently serving in Afghanistan. I thank them all for their service and dedication and of course pray for their safe return. This quilt is beautiful and will be a keepsake for years to come. Thanks for sharing.
Very handsome quilt!! Also many “elements” that can be used in future quilts.
What a wonderful quilt.
What a wonderful quilt!
Spectacular quilt! He is VERY talented!
What a beauty! I’m sure his son really appreciated the love that went into it’s creation
I love all the different “homes” in the quilt, and all the colors!
Thank you and Don for sharing and mostly thank you to Don’s son and all those who serve to keep us free!
Love his quilt! I know how excited I was to give my daughter a quilt when she came home from Afghanistan!! So very special!!!
Don certainly hit a home run with this quilt!
What a fabulous gift from father to son. I am inspired to do more of QOV after this post.
I want to thank Jo & Kelli. And everyone, with their comments. I enjoy quilting and hand quilting. And everyone, has made my day. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE. Take care Don Zaehringer–isewman
