Predictions For Our Referral

This is just a prediction I found on a web site that I was perusing. I also wanted to see how long a wait it would be for families that were just getting their log in date (LID).

Our prediction for LID 2006-02-28
China has 47 days of dossiers to be processed before they get to your dossier. China currently processes about 5.7 days of dossiers each month.
Our best guess: 2009-01-06
Since China generally sends out referrals in a batch about once per month, your referral date could easily vary +/- one month depending on whether you just get included or just get missed in a particular batch.

How CRAZY would this wait be?

Our prediction for LID 2008-05-16
China has 855 days of dossiers to be processed before they get to your dossier. China currently processes about 5.7 days of dossiers each month.
Our best guess: 2016-04-29
Since China generally sends out referrals in a batch about once per month, your referral date could easily vary +/- one month depending on whether you just get included or just get missed in a particular batch.

# 64 - In Memory Of Grandma


I wanted to include my grandparents so I chose this fabric because it really symbolizes
Grandma (my Mums Mum). She was always playing cards.
I remember her playing solitaire and clock patience.
I used to watch her play when she came to visit us.

# 61, 62, 63 - Hanna's Choice







Thank you Hanna for the beautiful material choices. Hanna is Kim's daughter.
I really love the fairies and castles. The cats remind me of BoBo so it is very special and the tiny butterflies are so delicate.

# 60 - Shades Of Violet



One of my best friends Kim, gave us this fabric to put in the quilt.
I really love all the shades of purple. I love the feel of it too.
It will be so nice to have all the different textures in the blanket .
Thanks Kim.

# 59 - Memories Of Great Gran

I chose this material because it reminded me of my Granny. She really loved birds and
I made her a cross stitch with Chickadees on it when I was younger.
I thought it would be nice to have some more special memories added to the quilt.

# 58 - Hearts From England

This gorgeous material is form our friends Wendy, Mark, Barney and Sam.
We are so excited that they sent us this material all the way from England.
We miss you guys! Thanks so much we love the hearts.
