More Fabric

Last night was fun. Mike and I met up with Maureen and Mike Evans. "Mo" and Christy were in the same pledge class for our sorority. She and Mike are now in the middle of adopting from Kazakhstan. Their hopes are to travel soon, maybe April? It's a 6 week process once there. It was so neat to compare stories and translation guides (oh the things they teach you!) and the hoops and hurdles along the way. We closed down Cold Stone Creamery... they kicked us out. I mean, two seconds after we were out the door, they locked it and drew the blinds. Yep, us boring thirty-somethings were holding up the working teens' ability to get out early and go out apparently. (Just for the record, by my watch, it was only 9:55.)

We wish M&M the best of luck in their adoption. Can't wait to see the new Evans child. They may even have their child safe and sound at home before we do!

I also have lots of new fabrics to share. We are now up to around 56 pieces, I believe. The goal is 77... so if you haven't yet mailed yours in or dropped it off, please do so. I mail the rest of the fabric out on Monday.

This fabric is from Bob and Mary Thornberry, Mike's uncle and aunt.

This adorable ladybug fabric has a special donor. It's from the Thomas family that adopted a little boy from the same orphanage as Gracelynn. He was a good friend of hers.


The two above fabrics are from the same fabric used to create animal feedsacks on the James farm (Mike's grandmother's family). It was given by Marvin and Vivian.

This starry pink fabric is from the daughter, Jahna.

This cute lavender floral fabric is from family friends, the Hornsbys.

This fabric was taken from a handmade robe that Mike wore as a young child. It was made by his grandmother.

This Redskins fabric was taken from shorts worn by Mike's grandfather (who passed away shortly after Ben was born.)

This pretty floral fabric was given by the Garmans, who are college friends of ours (and who now live near us and attend our church). It was used in their daughter's nursery quilt, too.

This sunny fabric was given by their daughter, Emily.

This red bandana fabric was given by a sorority sister and her husband, the Fletchers. Red and black were our sorority colors.

This cross-stitched panda and black fabric was also made by Christy's sorority sister,
Ms. Fletcher.
