Sofia's Quilt is Done!!!

My good friend Norie emailed me and said that she has finished Sofia's quilt! Yay! I can't wait to see it. I know it is going to be beautiful. Thank you so much Norie. You are a dear friend. I collected squares for over a year and now after almost a year and a half (the first person we hired to do the quilt fell through after 6 months of holding our squares) we are finally going to have a finished quilt for Sofia and best of all, it was made with love from my friend.

Updated Pictures of Sofia's Quilt

I received these great pictures from my friend Norie today. It looks like Sofia's quilt is almost finished. I am SO excited to see how beautiful it is. Norie is doing an incredible job on it and we couldn't be any more thankful.

Good News on Sofia's Quilt

I have some good news about Sofia's quilt! You may remember that the person I had hired to do Sofia's One Hundred Good Wishes Quilt decided she could not do it after holding on to our materials for almost 6 mos. Luckily, we were able to get our materials and money back from her. I was really worried about getting Sofia's quilt done soon, so I asked my dear friend Norie if she would be interested in quilting Sofia's quilt for us and she said "yes". Norie is an amazing quilter/sewer/crocheter and I am so glad that she is doing it since it means so much more to have her do it than someone we did not know. She also made Sofia a beautiful sweater right before we went to China. I promise to post pictures of Sofia's quilt as soon as it is completed.

Quilt Update & Pity Party for Me

Unfortunately Karri was not able to make our quilt after all. She has been so busy with things, she sent me a check for the amount we paid her and our quilt materials. I am sad that it has been almost 6 months and still no quilt for Sofia. I hope to find someone who can make it for us soon.

Time to Ship the Squares Off!

I have laid the quilt squares out in the order they will be put together and am going to send them to Karri of Karri's Quilts. I will be sure to post a picture of the quilt when we get it back. I am so excited! It has been a long labor of love and I appreciate everyone who contributed a square/squares to our little girl's quilt. We will treasure it for years to come.

I have also finished Sofia's 100 Good Wishes Book.

Sofia's last quilt square - Quilt Square #103

Sofia's last quilt square is from Anik and Sylvain from Canada. Thank you for the final quilt square for Sofia's quilt and thanks to everyone who traded with us, we really appreciate it.

Quilt Square #102

This square is from Teresa Orem Werner, who is also an adoptive mother. She wrote the book "A Quilt of Sqaures". It is a childrens book about the meaning of a 100 Good Wishes Quilt.
