#69 Is another little ladybug print that came from the Dempsey's who are in our same adoption agency. Their wish included parts of the lyrics to "When Love Takes You In" a song Steven Curtis Chapman wrote stemming from his experience with his 3 Chinese adopted girls.






#67 & 68 came from a fun mother/daughter team Eve and Abi Hall. We first met the Hall's at our old church and hit it off well the first day! Eve and I later worked together but since we have moved on to different branches of cardiac nursing. I do miss our fun days in the Cath Lab!



#66 Cool, another country being represented. This cool green fabric was from Erik's college friend Sal Musumeci and his wife Robin who are living in Sussex England. Thanks so much!!

#65 This cuddly flannel cloud print was from my cousin and her family in Charlotte, NC - yeah! Can it really be? Something from the family??? Thanks Taylor - very thoughtful!

#63 & 64 These little kitty cat squares are from two families special to me from our time in France. The three of us women were all pregnant together and we all had girls which furthered the fun. I got to see them and their girls when we went back to France last fall, It was a blast to get the girls together again. Thank you Andrea and Erica so much for a special square from Paris!


#62 Is a red butterfly square from the Shaws of Cumming, GA who are some college friends of mine. Their wish was very similar to another college friend (#54) who wished for our daughter to know the transforming love of God. We want lots of those prayers!

#61 This is from a fellow adopting family in Moorestown, NJ. I love the pretty purple. Thanks Darlington's

#60 Another sweet one from an anxiously awaiting sister. It's a watermelon print she picked out and the wish states "I hope you like watermelon so we can eat it together when you get here!"

#59 This one cracks me up. I wish you could hear the inflection in the voice of Alexia as she spouted out her wish to her fairy square she picked out.
"I hope you believe in fairies...they are real. The tooth fairy is real indeed!"
Alexia could care less about any fictitious character, but she KNOWS there is a tooth fairy.

#58 Was the first of several given by big sister. It beautifully colored by Alexia at school this year and we were able to order it as a quilt square so all we need was a wish. Together she and I decided on the lyrics to the children's song "Jesus Loves the Little Children" - All the children in the world, red and yellow black and white - they are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.
