Bai Jai Bei Quilt - 100 Good Wishes for our Kate

Here is the first annoucement of the name we will give to our daughter from China. We have chosen Katherine (from one of our favorite movies, Kate and Leopold). I wanted Kate, but Bart really liked the apology letter Leopold sent to Kate, starting "Dearest Katherine". Her middle name will include her given Chinese name in some way. This site is strictly to bore you with each and every quilt square I get for Kate and her 100 Good Wishes quilt. Any advice or comments are greatly appreciated.

Location: Missouri, United States

Mother and wife... Loving both roles! As you will see by these entries my family and friends are the best!

These are two new fabrics. They were thoughfully picked out by 2 young boys. One I watch on Wed. mornings for the Bible Study group. He is special to me and Lucy. He chose the John Deere, because he LOVES John Deere. I think it is neat, because both Bart and I's grandpa's used John Deere. John Deere is still part of my Aunt and Unlce's (also Godparents) life too! I have an uncle in Iowa who works in the John Deere Factory! We were raised to appreciate John Deere.
His older brother picked the checkered flag. He loves Nascar! When his mom said it didn't have cars on it he said but it is the finish line flag! I tear up even writing this! I will always look at that fabric and see what is at our finish line waiting for us in China, now!

I love how the personalities came through with each of these fabrics. That is the whole idea! And if I am going to cry with every well-wish, I might need some more tissues! Posted by Picasa
