Thank you so much for Shaun's
quilt. It came priority mail, as you said, but it got here a week before I
thought it might. What a pleasant surprise! We had plans for the rest of the
day, and that is why I am writing to you so late. We did try to call, but,
since I lost your number, I tried calling Mrs. Davis. The gentleman who
answered was very hard of hearing, did not know you and had never heard of
the Virginia Memorial Quilt Project. I decided it would be better to write
you this way.
What an absolutely beautiful quilt! We have it folded at the foot of our
bed, and the colors match our bedroom decor. If I didn't know better, I
would swear you had photographs of our bedroom and made the quilt to match!
My wife, who tats, knits and crochets, was "blown away" by the work that
went into making the quilt. We aren't quilt people, but the pattern must
have a name. We would appreciate knowing it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this fine memorial to Shaun. It is very
precious to us. As I mentioned before, my wife and I will check our budget
and we want to contribute to the wonderful work you and your friends are
doing.
Thank you, again.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Roger J. Dale
