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.

delightful daisies...

before the store opened, i had a vision in my head of what each display would look like. i made a functional laminated lay-out of the floor plan where i plotted the color lines, the seasonal flow and desired samples. and then we opened. and those plans changed. why? because i heard things i wasn't expecting. like...do you have black and white fabric? i quickly reworked some space and soon we not only had the fabric, it had a place of it's own. then i spotted this book...big fun with a little fabric...by amanda herring. of quilted fish fame. i loved, loved, loved the design on the cover. i so wanted to make that quilt. one small problem. i. have. no. time.

enter aimee doershuk. she had been working in another quilt shop in northeast ohio that sadly closed recently. so she came to see me and asked if i would like her to make us a sample. she too was drawn to this book. so we agreed this was it. one tiny issue. i. have. very. small. walls. not to worry. aimee worked her design magic and condensed a pattern for big fun, into little fun. i love it!!! thank you aimee:)
