I don't really know Rooster's Dad, but it doesn't matter. Prayer and kindness cross all boundaries and this little quilt brought all of us closer together.[/quote]
What a wonderful and thoughtful thing to do! I'm so glad to have read this tonight because we invited a "stranger" to dinner tonight and I wanted to make him a quilt too. We met him at church last week; he is deployed here for training before he leaves for Afghanistan. He came to church last Sunday and I remembered when my son was in training in North Carolina that he was invited to dinner each Sunday after church. So we did the same. I don't think I have time to make a quilt before he leaves, but want to send it to him once he gets there. Thanks for your post. Seems like it's a universal desire for quilters everywhere to touch others with a quilt.
