No, not here in Orange, CA...I've not heard the story you speak about...certainly would like a copy of that email...if you send me a private message I will give you my yahoo addy if you don't mind sharing...thanks!

Great gift. I make lap robes every year for Christmas. Last year I got 34 done. Working on them for this year. Just love what you did for her. Know she will enjoy it for a long time.

And so are you for making this wonderful quilt, love the creative motif of the yellow ribbon! Great job to both of you!...What a blessing it is for you to have such a wonderful community where you live! I can tell you contribute much to the cause of community!

Wonderful to see that respect in one so young, too.

What a wonderful quilt for a dedicated student!

Is the pattern available on-line? It looks like something that would be fitting for someone I know...
