Quilt Squares (1-10)!!!

These pictures are not in the order that we have received them.  We have received several other pieces of fabric--but the families are still working on the scrapbook page and so I wanted to wait and post those together.  Soooo...these are what we have received this far with both the good wishes AND the fabric.  :o)

#1 is from a family that we have known for almost 7 yrs.  Gannon is in the same grade as their oldest.  They are a sweet family we have been blessed to know!

#2 is from Lori---a blogger friend.  Thank you Lori!!  Lori is such an inspiration to so many.  I love visiting her blog!

#3 is also from another blogger friend and fellow AWAA'ian  :o) , Denise.  I have been blessed to have been able to follow them on their journey to BEAUTIFUL Maggie Mae!

#4 is from an incredible family that I LOVE!  The Smiths homeschool their boys and the Lord blessed us with their friendship.  I love this darling fabric--Karleigh Mei will most definitely be our family princess!

#5 is from Karl's cousin and his family.  Thank you Heather for putting this beautiful scrapbook page together!  And the fabric is soooooo soft!

#6 is from a DEAR family that both Karl and I have LOVED for almost our entire life!!  This family is as close as family to us and Karleigh Mei is going to adore them!  I love where this "fabric" came from too.  It was made with love so many years ago.  Thank you for giving it to our Karleigh Mei!

#7 is from another blogger friend, Jeanette.  Their journey to precious Elizabeth pulled at my heart to research special needs adoption.  I just know that the Lord put this family in my path. What a blessing they are to me!

#8 is from a dear friend that I have known since Jr. High (our 20 yr. high school reunion is this summer...YIKES!).  I love this sweet fabric!!

#9 is from another school family that we have been blessed to know.  The fabric that they sent is also the same fabric on one of our couches.  I love the amazing scrapbook page that they put together!!

#10 is from one of our sweet neighbors.  I love how special this fabric is to them too!  Their daughter and Lexie have been friends since they were in kindergarten.  Sweet to have friends like this!  

Quilt Border Fabric

I bought this fabric that I love LOVE! Love the colors in it. I think I'm going to put this on the border of the quilt. And I'm also thinking of changing the design of the quilt--just have squares instead of hearts. Thinking about doing the hearts scares me! :o)

Quilt Update

So I am slowly preparing for the quilt. I found a great book on quilting (see below). I also found a pattern that I will be using. Each fabric that I receive will become a heart on Karleigh Mei's quilt! You think she will know she is loved? :o)

Getting Started

I'm getting together all of the "stuff" that I need to make Karleigh Mei's quilt. I found this super groovy-cute sewing basket that I can store all of my sewing supplies in. It makes me happy when I look at it. :o)
