Sam's Patriotic Picnic Quilt

My husband and I met Sam first as a boy who played guitar and attended our church.  Once a year, the children led the worship, and Pete got to know Sam when he coached Sam to play the worship music for Youth Sunday when Sam was around 10 years old.

Through the years, Pete and Sam participated in music together, and when Sam was around 15, Pete started a youth Praise Band and Sam was the cornerstone of guitar all through his high school years.

Now Sam is a young man, and he is leaving San Diego to continue his college preparations and study Forestry at Humboldt State.  He is ultimately interested in Conservation and we couldn't be more excited for this next phase of his life.

Congratulations, Sam.  Please take this picnic quilt and use it a lot!

The back is inscribed using rubber stamps in acrylic craft paint with the blessing often used at the end of services: "Go in peace, to love and serve the Lord."
