This pretty fabric is from our wonderful neighbors, Bev and Ken Miller. They wrote of how some things in life take patience and they wish for us to have many family-building good times ahead!

We got this sweet fabric from Kristy, Dustin and Kara. The wish is below. It was too cute not to share.



Nancy Frick, our social worker and all around wonderful woman, gave us this adorable fabric. It came with this wish,
"Your Mom, Dad and brothers have waited a long time for you to come home! Ladybugs are suppose to bring good fortune...they have brought you to a loving and wonderful home where you will always find love and happiness. Welcome!"

This adorable fabric is from Nate and Aidan's teachers, Mrs. Hange and Mrs. Moore. It came with this wish,
Who knows the joys that lie ahead
The secret smiles I'll find,
The friends I'll meet
The memories sweet,
The cares I'll leave behind.
Who knows the beauty of the days,
I've never seen before.
My only wish for life is this
The courage to explore.

We got this pretty ladybug fabric from our dear friends, The Afflerbachs. Their wish for our baby was "To grow up happy and healthy in her home filled with love!"
Their wish for ME was, "Pigtails and pink bows, Dress up and Painted toes!"

Our good friends and neighbors, The Gortons, gave us this beautiful butterfly fabric along with this sweet poem:

Relationship of Mother and Daughter
You can see it in their eyes,
in tender hugs and long good-byes,
a love that only moms and daughters know.

You can see it in their smiles,
through passing years and changing styles,
a friendship that continually seems to grow.

You can see it in their lives,
the joy each one of them derives,
in just knowing that the other one is there...

To care and to understand,
lend an ear or hold a hand,
and to celebrate the memories they share.

Bill and Cindy Terry (Denise's in-laws) sent us this beautiful butterfly fabric! They included this wish, "We wish you health, happiness, love and faith in the Lord."

This beautiful fabric is from The Burgess Family (in-laws of my sister, Denise)! It came with the wish of a life filled with lots of love, laughter, peace and faith in the Lord Jesus.

We are so honored that both families wanted to contribute to our quilt! Thank you!!!
