18 months old, My sister's sewing, & "presidential" quilt square

Our sweet Elizabeth turned 18 months old today......a milestone. We are so sad we can't be with her today but are so grateful that she is with her foster family. We really have no idea if our travel is going to be delayed (due to swine flue). The regular timeline (prior to swine flu) would have our Travel Approval arriving this week, but we'll see. We are still hoping it will arrive and we still hope to get to travel June 25th.

Now for a little promotion for my sister.....She has made a darling outfit for Elizabeth and is also making matching shorts for Langley. If time allows she is going to make another outfit for Elizabeth & Langley. She is very talented and her clothes are beautiful. My sister and her husband are in the process of their 2nd special needs China adoption. She has a blog on which she sells her creations to raise money for their adoption. Please visit her at www.stitchingtochina.blogspot.com

There is also a link on the right colume under "My Blog List"

She has amazing taste and the quality of her clothes is simply beautiful. Here is Elizabeth's sweet new outfit:

This week we received quilt square #11!

This comes from a friend from Little Rock, Connie Fails. Connie is the manager of the Clinton Museum Store and is a wonderful clothing designer. She is also a fellow adoptive mom.

She has been so kind and supportive to us since we've shared our news of Elizabeth! Connie sent us this special square and a lovely note. I want to share what the note says since I could only photograph the front of the note. Then follows the photo of the square and a photo of Mrs. Clinton wearing the mentioned suit, designed by Connie. Pretty cool!

For Elizabeth. This square of fabric is unique like you! It is fabric left from Hillary Clintons 1993 Inaugural suit for the swearing in ofthe 42nd President of the U.S. May you follow in the steps of a strong woman of service! Love to you & your family. Adoptive Mom Connie Fails
