I came across the pictures of your very beautiful and inspired Lone Star quilt made for the family of a Colonel who lost his life in Iraq (your entry 24/02/15). I must say it brought tears to my eyes - you have captured the simplicity and dignity suitable for a Memorial yet the star symbol lifts it from the ordinary. I have seen many pictures of 'quilts of valour' but yours is, to my mind, the loveliest example of such a memorial. We don't have the custom, here in UK, of making such quilts which seems to be a shame. However, I also think the quilts made by you for the Irish family were almost celebratory - and that's no bad thing. I'm filled with admiration of your creativity. We lost our only daughter to cancer some years ago and I would cherish even a small keepsake made from an item of her clothing....... but of course that's not possible now. <br />Val Edwards <br /><br />V.E.
