Note from Mary Ann Norman: “Hi Marlene, just wanted to say I love the wonky tulip I purchased. Purple is my favorite color, that’s what initially caught my attention. The stitching is awesome. It’s a beautiful little quilt. I checked out all of your quilts on the AAQI site and they are all beautiful. So is the amount you raised for ALZ research. …. Keep up the great work and thank you for all you are doing.”
