Who knows what inventiveness may come from Quinn as one views the artistic designs, colorful fabrics, original patterns, and creative textiles. How well the Kazaks captured nature.
Me thinks Kerry and Dan are in the right country. You already are excellent good will ambassadors for both the USA and Kz.
