I wanted to ask you if you would like to help me with a quilt for the baby/child we are hoping to adopt from Ethiopia. If you don't already know, our family is hoping and praying to adopt a little one from Ethiopia.
While we are waiting for a referral from the adoption agency, I want to make a Good Wishes Quilt for our child. I am asking friends and family to send me one 8X8 square (washed and pressed) of African themed fabric (100% cotton for quilting) to add to the quilt. Also, write a wish for our child, a prayer, quote, a poem or a favorite verse on a 4X6 inch card and attach a small piece of the fabric you send. Please sign and date the card and put your location,too.
I will use the squares to make the quilt and I will put the wish card in a scrapbook to keep. If you would like to send a square for the quilt just email me at mlynncollins@yahoo.com and I will send you the address.I know this will be something very special for our child and it will give me something to do while we are waiting and waiting and waiting.
