The Kooyenga Quilt
In November, 2007, Jan and Ron Kooyenga came to
visit from Sun City, Arizona. Jan and Ron had stayed with us on previous
occasions (their family lives nearby) and fallen in love with
the inn (Ron's an aircraft homebuilder, working on a Van's RV-7 and
an RV-9). Lucky for us, they
felt compelled to donate something to our aviation theme!
Jan is an accomplished quilter, and the idea of
an aviation-themed quilt seemed like a natural fit. The end result is
the beautiful quilt pictured below. Jan worked five weeks creating
this lovely piece of art, which we now proudly and prominently display
in our lobby, for all to see and enjoy.
Here are some pix of their generous creation:
