Squares 94-99

I can't believe we have hit 99 squares!! We only need one more square! I am still waiting for some family members and a friend to send their squares. Come on! Who will be square 100? Maybe I'll save that square for Daddy. Do you know he went to the fabric store to find a square for Tori's quilt? Nothing 'spoke' to him, so we are going to keep looking.

This square is from friends of ours, Dave and Cary. They are also adopting from China. Cary is part of the July DTC Firefly group. Isn't the fabric she found perfect!! Thanks Cary!

I love this pretty pink square. It is from the Altman family. Thank you.

This lovely wish and square is from a friend of my mom. Thank you Ann, I love the square.

Another friend of Moms sent this wonderful wish. It is perfect.

Connie from Ohio sent this wonderful square. If you look closely she even put Victoria on the wish. I love that. Connie is a 'blogger buddy'. Check out her blog when you get a chance. Her blog is always fun to read. Look HERE

Isn't this fun!! I love this fabric. It is from Nicole the Great. Nicole is also a blogger buddy. The wish is wonderful. Thank you Nicole. You can read Nicole's blog HERE

Squares 92 and 93

The squares aren't coming in as quickly any more. I will admit that I really miss receiving them in the mail. It was a lot of fun to open each envelope to find a new treasure inside.

This lovely square is from the Thomas Family. I love the pink against the black background. It is a very pretty square. Thank you!!


This adorable square is from the Schickel Family in Crestwood, Kentucky. It is such a cute square! Thank you Beth and family.

We are down to the wire. I'm still waiting for a few from family and friends. Who will be square 100?

Thanks again to all who have sent squares and wishes!

Square 88 & 89

Two very special wishes... Since the day Jordan was born I have called him Frog Face. It is just a thing between us. When Mom and I were at the fabric store with the boys I told them to pick a fabric that represents them so we can add it to Tori's quilt. Jordan thought about it for a minute and said that he wanted one with frogs. I was happy. I was secretly hoping he would pick a frog fabric.

After looking through several shops we finally found this cute frog fabric. I love the wish, too!




Ryan has always called Tyler 'Turtle Nose'. Mom found this fabric a few months ago and Tyler loved it the moment he saw it. He also added a very cute wish and even drew a picture. I blew up the wish so you can also see the picture.Thanks Frog Face and Turtle Nose. These are very VERY special wishes.
