More Squares!

Well, I finally scanned in a few more designs. Quilt squares still keep trickling in, so I'm still confident we'll eventually get our 100 squares. It's funny... I run into people nearly daily that remind me that they ARE going to do a quilt square... they "promise". Obviously we have a good little wait till the referral arrives, so there is still some time. If you need information on how to get the square to me, please email me. Thanks! The more, the merrier. If we gather more than 100, all the better!!!

This pretty yellow and pink floral fabric is from Aunt Tracy (my sister) and Uncle Tim King

This cool pawprint fabric is from the King's bulldogs Max and Sabel.

The Mickey fabric comes from family friends, the Hazelrigs, who remembered our Disney honeymoon and the Mickey and Minnie on top of our wedding cake. :-)

The "Starry Night" fabric from the McGrails was inspired from the famous artwork.

This pastel-striped fabric from friends, the Hroniks, is special in that their daughter Maggie wore this Tommy Hilfiger dress after it was handed down to them from our daughter Reagan.

This beautiful floral print comes from the Packards, Christy's cousin and family. Both of their daughters wore this shirt numerous times and passed along the fabric to our daughter.

This ladybug fabric comes from adoptive parents (and sorority sister of Christy), the Porters. They adopted their children from Korea, and sent a book Shaoey and Dot by Stephen Curtis Chapman along with the fabric. The book features a ladybug named Dot who follows baby Shaoey on her adoptive adventure. We were truly touched. Thank you!

As you can see, we have a great variety of prints and colors. It will truly be a remarkable, meaningful quilt in the end. Thank you to everyone who has contributed thus far (and promises to contribute soon). :-)

More time...

I haven't posted in awhile, so I thought I'd give you the latest update we've heard. Currently our adoption agency is awaiting word to hopefully find that there are referrals for their December 9, 2005 log-in-date parents. That makes it an official 24 month wait. Granted, we were told that was expected by the end of this year, but it's still a bummer to hear. We are almost 7 months into the process, so if things were to continue status-quo and not change, we'd hear about a referral in 17 months. BUT so far we're definitely learning that nothing stays the same. So, who knows. They are now talking 3 years possibly (with paper-chase in that number, which was 6.5 months in and of itself). Remember when we first signed up, they were talking of 12-14 month waits.

We know God has a child in mind for us. Apparently she just hasn't been conceived yet. :-) So keep praying for the baby-to-be and for the mom and dad who are soon learning that they have an incredibly tough decision to make.
