quilts for sale to benefit a precious boy named chance

a few months ago sarah and i fell head over heals in love with a little boy listed for adoption on the reece's rainbow website. his name is chance and just like sarah, he too has down syndrome. we were so smitten by his sweet face we placed his photo on the top of our angel tree this year and prayed each evening that he would find a forever family soon so he could get out of the orphanage where he is currently living.


a few weeks later while scrolling through posts on facebook, we read that a family who we had the pleasure of meeting while we were at the national down syndrome convention last summer was ready to adopt again.



pasha is an absolute doll and is thriving with his new family, so i sent the mom a private message asking her if they had chosen a child yet. hope whispered back that yes they had and shared a picture of chance.

 

my eyes immediately welled with tears i was so happy. this meant that pasha and chance were one day going to be brothers!! how incredibly awesome will that be.

so sarah and i are doing what we can to help hope and her family secure the funds they will need to make this adoption possible. as you may know, we have been selling sample quilts in our shop for some time with the proceeds going to reece's rainbow families.

today, we are kicking it up a notch and will be selling the quilts right out of our current front window display. they all feature high end quilt quality fabric designed by lily ashbury for moda fabrics and have been created by master quilters.


usually these just sell in our brick and mortar shop located in university heights, yet we know others might be interested in purchasing a quilt to help bring chance home, so we thought we will list them here as well.

dusting off here

oh my this ole blog here has been sorely neglected. i suppose it's because we have become so comfortable with facebook these days. but it's a new year which makes it seem like a good time to say hello. let's start with this...

 
sarah and i met with marc jacobs from michael miller today.
 

we ordered some fun new prints for springtime. well truthfully, we try to always keep it like a breath of springtime in our shop. the new bolts will arrive sometime mid march.
