I wanted to let you know that this blog will be quiet for the summer. Our family is headed to China in a WEEK to meet our daughter!! I promised I would formally introduce her to you as soon as we could so here she is!
Of course, I had to make her a quilt:
In the meantime, the work of Margaret's Hope Chest will continue all summer!!
We have two very active programs right now that we still need help with.
1.) A Mother's Hope--details here.
2.) Prison Ministry Quilts--Kid's quilts of any kind--recommended size 40X60 inches. Boys are especially needed!
Please consider using a bit of your sewing time this summer to make a quilt for one or both of these programs.
I appreciate those who quietly and generously help us all year long. We are so blessed.
Have a wonderful summer!!!
Congrats on your new daughter ... she is too adorable. My cousin has a little girl 17 mo, Evy, who has Downs. She is so sweet. I can't wait to read more about your new daughter.
ReplyDeleteOh what fun! Excited for you and LOVE her new quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhen my brother-in -law and his wife adopted a beautiful 5 year old girl from China, I made her an "I Spy" quilt with all things American - not just patriotic, but also snacks and pasttimes, etc. I also made her pillow cases for each holiday and she LOVES them and insists that her parents change them each holiday.
ReplyDeleteGood luck - and congratulations!!
