If that is what makes you happy, I think your girls hit a home run. He was a very handsome man even when he was up there in age.

He was the only person I said I would ever leave my husband for.

EmiliasNana 12-26-2015 06:04 AM

Our daughter, now 31, has loved him forever. I still remember her HS volleyball coach talking about heart throbs. When our DD told her that hers was Paul Newman, she said, "That old guy?!" The coach was probably close to 40 at the time. DD quickly told her to watch his movies, and young or old, that man was HOT! LOL

Forgot to mention...........that blue batik goes perfect with his eyes............sigh. Enjoy the process and the product.

He truly was one of the most handsome men ever, and his blue eyes, oh my !

Oh my! I can hardly wait to see the quilt! Did they use their home copy machine or did they have the photos professionally applied to fabric?
