I think it is wonderful.
I hope he is reading this post so he knows what a good job we think he is doing and how awesome it is to have him recognize he has the talent and put his skills to work.
I very much enjoyed the work in progress photos. I like seeing his concentration, how he is handling the squares and seeing his hands when he is sewing. He appears to be very thoughtful and careful, knowing our equipment can be dangerous to the human flesh.
I wish I knew his name so I could say in first person "Good job! Congratulations! Awesome! Keep up the good work!" :thumbup:
I think it was so special of him to tell you "I am happy to be here".
