It will certainly be displayed in a prominent position in my home and I'm sure it will be admired by all who see it.
If there is any way you can convey my thanks and delight to the artist - Rosa Perez - I would be more than pleased. She is a very talented lady...'

'...Just a quick note to say how delighted we are with the Rainforest Arpilleras. Please thank the artist Bertina Perez. We saw her letter in the back. What a wonderful touch. We must learn Spanish.
The detail is brilliant! It really does take a snap shot of life in a Peruvian rainforest. Just deciding how best to display it. What a treasure. We may start a collection. Thank you,
- Joanne & Colin M.
