DALE, What about a tulip ( pd symbol ) made out of stone with the name of donors to supported this stone, and also a giant turtle (slow and steady wins the race) quilt with pd and pd+ names and age sewn by themselvesonto the muslin with their printed name below it. This can be achieved with a piece of muslin and hoop so that the person or caregiver can help sew their name and age on this stripsay2" x7". when finished it could be applied onto the turtle and framed. It will then be placed in the smithsonian museum, another in the chicago museum of art ,ect. Also, you can cover those pders and pd+ who could not do either of the above and have their names engraved on a piece of marble sheet that names and age of the person can be added on to it with the donation. Age has a signigficant impact! lets do it! or what about a tulip garden with name plates of each person who donated the tulip or have the name on a marble wall with tulips engraved on it and the donators name. take good care, Nancy note- let me know what comes out of this i am an excellent embroderier and muslin is only 1.50 a yard
