Griff is one of most likeable and popular artists in the Collectibles field. His "collectors" love him! So, last year when they found out he was about to celebrate a big birthday, collectors around the U.S.A. helped create a very special birthday present.

The 40th Birhday quilt was created by quilt squares sent in by collectors. Each collector participating appliqued, embroidered, quilted and even painted a separate square. These were sent to Texas and a master quilt-maker arranged them all and quilted the pieces together. The quilt was presented to Griff on his 40th Birthday last September at a N.J. signing event. It has since traveled around with him to the various signings and events!

These pictures were taken at a recent signing event in Oklahoma City at North Pole City.
