What an incredible masterpiece! There is an embroidery of a child with a car and a pole. My peers went to Africa 30 years ago and brought back three examples of those toys the children had created from junk. They were from simple to complex. The wheels actually turned using the pole!!!!! The children made their toy cars that way so they wouldn't have to kneel on the rough ground - hurt their knees. That embroidery reminded me of those incredible creations. What a treasure - I understand her tears of happiness. Safe trip to Turkey.
