Default I am crying, but they are happy tears----

I have to tell this story----the Quilt board is such a wonderful place with wonderful people. I was contacted by Johans of the Munising Bay Quilt Guild when I was downsizing my stash....I didn't have any extra stash left but I did have a quilt top ( of Naval Air images) I had pieced for my husband before he passed away suddenly. He loved airplanes especially the Corsair and He was a Navy SeeBee in Vietnam. (Agent Orange was determined to have caused his death)
I just couldn't bring myself to finish the quilt and offered it to Joann as they were making quilts for veterans. Not only did they finish the quilt beautifully they did present it to a Vietnam Vet on Memorial day. She sent me a clipping and cd of the ceremony honoring my husband's and other veteran's service.......
I am so eternally grateful,
