More Beautiful Squares

Again, the highlight of my week was going to my mailbox to see the gorgeous wishes and fabrics that arrived each day. I have been overwhlemed at the beauty of each fabric, the kindess in each wish and love behind it all!

Here they are...

These two fabrics are from my very dear friend, Diana and her family. I met Diana during our wait and she has become an incredibly special friend. I knew I would LOVE whatever she chose. She has incredible taste!

My friend, Denise and her family sent us these adorable fabrics. I love these patterns. Denise will be traveling to get her daughter on March 27th. She has become a dear friend of mine and I look forward to many special times with our daughters (and our sons)!

Sweet and funny Jennifer and her family sent us this perfect fabric. They are waiting for their daughter from China. I love that it is pink and has ladybugs on it. Thank you Jennifer!

Tracy and her family sent us this. We have been following each other's blogs for a long time now. I love Tracy's "tell it like it is" style of writing. Tracy's blog makes me laugh. She is a sweetie and I am hoping to see her daughter's face this year! I love this paisley. It looks complements some of the other fabrics really well.

I LOVE this fabric too! Lisa is a pregnant Mom on bed rest who has been reading our blog for a while. She is expecting her fouth child. As far as I know she does not have a blog and she has not adopted. I was so incredibly touched that she sent us a square! The wish is truly beautiful. Lisa also sent us a beautfiul book (The Empty Pot) and an ornament with Kate's name engraved on it. Lisa, if you are reading this...I cannot express how much your kindess has moved me this week. Thank you!!!!

Sharon, who is waiting to go to China to get her beautiful daughter sent this cute fabric. It is silky soft. I met Sharon through the blog too. She has a beautiful way of expressing her love for her children. Thank you Sharon. We treasure it!

My dearest, sick, little Harry chose this fabric for Kate's quilt. It is pink chenille. When Kate saw the chenille in the fabric store, she ran up to it and hugged it screaming, "Wubby, Wubby (which means lovey, lovey). Apparently, chenille reminds her of the "lovey" that she sleeps with. Harry did a beautiful job on the wish.

Our friends, the Freedmans sent us this beautiful square. I love the pattern. It reminds me of the damask on Kate's walls. Pam, thank you so much and we love the wish. We hope to see you next time you are in town!

Kelly and Tim who are awaiting their daughter sent us this fun square. They are Irish and sent us pretty green shamrocks and an Irish blessing. Thank you. We will treasure this square and the blessing.

Leslie and her beautiful family sent us this square. A few weeks ago, I went and bought several fabrics for Kate's quilt in case people wanted to participate but didn't have time to go get fabric. I also chose some that our family would give to Kate. I actually bought this exact fabric because I thought it was one of the prettiest fabrics I have ever seen. I LOVE it so much. So, imagine my surprise when I open the envelope from my dear and sweet friend and I see this one! Leslie, our tastes are so similar. Thank you for the beautiful wish.

I love this bright and sunny fabric from Elizabeth in my Shabby Chic quilt swap. It looks gorgeous next to the pink paisley above. Thank you!

Nazareth sent this one all the way from Spain for the Shabby Chic swap. Isn't it perfect?

The Reimer family sent this fun and bright fabric for the Shabby Chic swap. Merci!

The Sprague Family sent this beautiful floral for the Shabby Chic swap. Gracias!

Our good friends, the Bickers, gave us this beautiful square and wish. We love this fabric and I adore what Colleen wrote. We are lucky to call you friends. Thank you.

Staci sent us new wish cards this week. She did not know that they would go into an album and felt bad about the green index cards she sent last week. Staci, you are so funny! I love the new wishes!!!!

I truly LOVE each of these fabrics! I hope my writing is indicative of that. I don't want to say the same thing over and over but each one is perfect and the love behind them is so sweet. Also, a few people expressed concern over sending me duplicate fabrics. I really hope to get duplicates! I think it will give the quilt a more cohesive look if some squares are repeated. So, please not not worry about that!
