The first "Quilter Sound Thing" took shape over the summer of 1967 and although everything needed to be done over twice, the end result, crude as it was, managed to impress friends and even some experts. Even more amazingly, it continued to function for many years, eventually returning to Pat's hands as a trade-in for a newer model.
