A Quilt For Grace: July 2008

CCAA Website and News

There have been changes on the CCAA website.
Files logged in to January 31, 2007 are in the
matching room and files logged in to January 25,
2006 have been matched.

We got this news on Friday. It is very exciting because we are next. Group 15 just got their proposals. Even though it is still a whole month and a bit that the CCAA has to go through until they get to ours we still feel that it is coming we hope by some miracle we will get to go before Christmas but we aren't holding out breath. Please send us your positive thoughts and send hurry up thoughts to the CCAA.

# 85 - Care Bears

Thank you goes out to my Aunt Dorothy (on my Dad's side). This is so cute we love all the little care bears on it and I am sure that it won't be long before Grace knows all their names.

# 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84 - From The Proudfeet.

The first piece is from Cherie (the colour blue and the fun dots are perfect), the second is from Robert (Australia all the way), next is from Adelaide (notice the 3 images as she is 3 right now), then we have Brennan's (he loves the beach) and Victoria's piece (it is soft and lovely just like her) and last we have a piece that Cherie gave us to represent the next Proudfeet's that arrive into our family ( the baby images are perfect). Thanks guys we love them all so much.

# 78 - Kate's Choice

This beautiful piece of material is from my friend and coworker Kate. I really love the pattern and the colours. Thank you so much for contributing to Graces quilt.

# 77 - For the Fishermen In Our Lives.

Well you guessed it. This is for Rob's Dad and my Dad, Rob, Jacob and Luke.

We needed this one don't you think?

# 76 - From Carlyle With Love.

My cousin Gail sugested that I get some Beatrix Potter fabric to represent Carlyle because my Gran and Popa were both from there. Thanks Gail for the sugestion we love this material.

# 73, 74 & 75 - Our Countries.

We wanted to get some material that represented our countries. So the first is very Canadian and especially west coast. The second is very Chinese both in colour and with the fortune cookies. We wanted the fortune cookies because it is our family tradition to buy a bag every time we go to China town. The third piece of material is very Australian with the kangaroos.

I hope that Grace will embrace all three of these place with as much love as what we do.
