#76 I love this fun summery red print it was sent to us by some friends we made during our time in Europe. We also fondly remember them as our occasional dog sitter! The Chris and Amy Mount now of Decatur, AL sent this along with a sweet gift - a book entitled "My Mei-mei" It's about a little girl wanting her Chinese adopted little sister. Alexia wants her little sister so bad it's a difficult thing for us to have to explain the wait all the time to her. Double thanks Mount's!
#75 Another sweet lady sent this square - Sheryl Schmatjen. She is also a friend of Nancy's and we enjoy seeing her and her husband on our trips to Orlando. Sheryl is a former flight attendant and chose this airplane print. "Psalm 139:9 If I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me..."
#74 This fun lemon meringue recipe print was given by Betty Vallery one of Nancy's dear friend's. Her gifting is hospitality therefore she chose this square. She reminded us that when we serve others, we serve God. Betty is a sweet one, with adopted granddaughters of her own.
#73 This school-themed square was done in honor of Erik's grandmother Laura Johnson by Erik's mom Nancy. She was a school teacher and wrote extensive personal journals throughout her years. I am thankful that I was able to know this sweet, peaceful lady for some before her death in 2002.
#72 Is a great one that typifies Erik's step-dad (Papa Jacques) He loves cars and anything to do with cars. For this reason Alexia has dubbed him "car show boy".
#71 Yeah!!! A square from Mimi (Erik's mom) She gave this sunshiny print that included a wish with the verse Matt 5:16 "Let your light shine before men..." and the hope that "you will be a shining light"
#70 This pretty blue flannel print came from college friends of Erik Jeremy and April Drobnick of Charlotte, NC. Both of us couples were married young (I was the only one finished with college). I laugh at the memories of that first year! We have kept in touch and have enjoyed seeing their family continue to grow as they will be adding their fourth soon. This fabric was a scrap from their first (of 3) daughter's quilt that April made - thanks!
#69 is from our old friends the McPherson's from Kennesaw. They were in our Sunday school class years back when we lived in Woodstock. It is a cute little flower and butterfly print and the wish in part states how "God has chosen to create you and chose you mom and dad for you" What a wonderful thought.
