How terrific! I loved that quilt the first time I saw it, but I love the story even more. I think this needs to be in a big quilting magazine now. It's a quilt anybody would be proud of.

Not the greatest picture of him I am afraid....

That is so beautiful and such a heart warming story. He is such a strong willed person and you have to be in such cases. I admire Him and respect Him. A lot of people would have just given up. He looks like a fun Guy. Thanks for sharing the story.

Thank you so much for sharing his story with us. I read the whole thing twice. And his picture is just fine. What a survivor story. I am so proud of you both.
I thought Cathy MIller, the singing quilter's., 1" sq quilts were awesome......his really are stupendous...
I cannot believe the size in those squares. Awesome quilt and story. Hugs to you both. Happy HOlidays.

WOW -- thanks for sharing your hubby's story!! It is wonderful to know that courage and determination can bring someone back from what could have been a totally disabilitating stroke. The story of the quilt is also amazing!! I cannot even imagine making a quilt with pieces that small, let alone with that number of pieces.

Congratulations to you both!!!

Congratulations on your success in overcoming a stroke. I think it is miraculous that you did that, and even spectacular that you did those tiny pieces. You have my utmost respect and admiration. May you live long and prosper in good health along with your faithful wife. All I can add to this is "Wow"..... God bless you both.
