A special quilt for a special boy





































A few of us had the idea to make a quilt for Adler after his dad died. Jenn gave us a stack of Dave's work shirts to use. Rebecca Menzie made the quilt top a few months ago and I finished it last night. It's really cool; I love the buttons and the pockets. Jenn and Adler both loved the quilt when I delivered it tonight. I'm not a procrastinator; they don't leave until Saturday.

I love it! What a great keepsake.
My sister is still working on the quilt we're putting together of Lindsey's old jeans. I'll send you a picture when it's done.

This gift is priceless. I look at it and I can still see Dave wearing them. I'm glad Ads has this. I feel like Adler can put it around him and feel Dave.

Best gift ever!!

Thank you so much!
