He has fought the odds and studied so hard and passed the written test on his 4th try(they have it on tape thank goodness) and he passed the road test on his first try. He is now a semi truck driver .I am so proud of his preserverance(some told him to get disability) Well I wont even go there on this board. But any way I would love to make him some type of " keep on truckin" theme quilt to reward his never give up attitude.I just know someone here has seen one or can give a not so creative average quilter some design tips! Thanks in advance!

What a wonderful story!! I love to hear/read about supportive parents who teach their kids how to live life to the fullest instead of sitting in the corner, sucking their thumbs and letting someone else take care of them. Congratulations to your son and to you for your support of him!!
