Description

You will cherish this one-of-a-kind 45" x 45" hand-quilted wallhanging. Whitewashed red and gold-roofed houses line a sparkling blue bay filled with brightly-colored sailboats. The focal point is a silhouette of Seeing Eye founder, Morris Frank, and his dog, Buddy. Lines of quilting radiate out from them, indicating there is no where they can't go together.  Hand-stitched into the bright yellow border are two quotes from Morris Frank. One is his response to his first solo trip to the barber with Buddy, "For the first time in four years, I am free." The other is a quote from a speech he wrote upon his return to the U.S. with Buddy: "I have signed my Declaration of Independence and enjoy it to the fullest with my dog, Buddy."
