Last July Robert Avrech posted a picture of a comforter designed as a U.S. flag and expressed his desire to have one:
A few years ago, Karen and I came across this comforter designed by Timothy Oulton. “I want it,” I said. Karen looked at the price tag and said, “We’ll just have to settle for a photo.”
Sister-in-law Julie makes quilts (over 600 so far) so I asked her to make one for me. We agreed on the price and I offered to give it to Robert. He readily accepted. It took a few months for the flag quilt to get to the head of the queue but I was able to pick it up the last time I was in Idaho and ship it to Robert.
Why? Because he is a Hollywood screenwriter and producer who is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. I’m not sure I would have the courage to risk my livelihood by being so outspoken behind enemy lines, I wanted to let him know that his efforts are appreciated, and give him a small reward for his courage and support of our specific enumerated right to keep and bear arms.
Today he posted pictures of and thanks for the quit (go to the bottom of the post).
Beautiful work and a wonderful gift.
The quilt is beautiful. Well done!
Joe:
Thanks for the wonderful gift. Julie’s quilt arrived just as our granddaughters were visiting. They got a huge thrill out of the design.
One day I hope to make it to your neck of the woods where you can take me shooting.
You are so very welcome.
In the Seattle area we can do some handgun shooting. Bring a friend or two to my place in Idaho and we’ll make some explosives and have some fun with rifles.
