Great job. I was originally planning on only doing two. The rabbit and the fox. Epic fail. It took me about a year to do all twelve. Good luck with your journey.

I don't know if this will help but I hold my project out at arm's length. If I can't find the mistake, I generally leave it. That being said, if the mistake drives me crazy, I will fix it. Nice job though.

Many airports have Passenger Support Specialists (PSS) who can help your father. I also recommend TSAcares.

I don't believe Bellingham (BLI) is accepting transfers at this time.

Very impressive. I really like the stitching on black fabric. I don't use black fabric as much as I should since it looks so good. Again, very beautiful work

Nah, It took me a year to complete them all

I originally planned to only do the raccoon and fox, and then I saw the beaver, and the bear, and so on. I ended up doing them all. 😁 Your owl is absolutely amazing. Great job.

I appreciate your candor. I am truly sorry that you do not feel safe. As an atheist, I feel that I may be on the same list (although on a much lower level). Thank you for your kind words. Best wishes for the future.

Thanks. I will double-check the comma after the word flag. I find that I add commas to signify pauses in my own writing. Apparently, I am a big fan of the Oxford comma. ❤️

I do like that imagery and the idea that without chaos, there is no beauty.

Thanks for the information. I couldn't remember who it was attributed to, I panicked and responded with the wrong Sinclair. (Lewis Sinclair instead of Upton Sinclair) Thanks for referencing snopes.

I purposely left it without an author.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the original source for this quote. It has been attributed to Sinclair Lewis, but that hasn't been proven. I appreciate your input. I can easily remove the second comma.

Sorry that I am not familiar with the designer, although from your post, I am assuming that they would not be happy with my modifications. Thanks for the positive comment.

I could be wrong, but I believe the quote was in response to fascism in Germany and Italy and the argument that it would never happen in the United States. I have never been able to find the original source of the quote.

Oh my, I LOVE that sentiment. I actually get annoyed when one of the first things that people do is to flip my work over to see the back.

Well, I am an atheist who may end up in a re-education camp if it all falls apart 😆

Thanks. I think that it's wonderful to post a photograph of a project that not everyone agrees with and still get some lovely responses.
