Wish #70




This wish comes once again from Fabienne and Patrick in Belgium.

I started a swap of squsihes on the One Hundred Good Wishes Quilt Group that was a "Red Thread Swap." People in the adoption community speak of the "red thread" a lot. It is the invisible thread that weaves in and out of our lives and is symbolic of the miracle that we feel adoption is. People talk about their "red thread stories" and how the "red thread" is once again working its magic. I thought it would be fun to have some red prints in Ty's quilt to kind of "tie" things together visually. So a group of about 14 of us swapped red prints!

This was the first red print that I got in the mail. I love that it is a Christmas print! It will always remind me of the time of year when we were working on collecting for Ty's quilt, about the gift that is adoption and the gift of our Savior's birth. And it will be something so beautiful to share with Ty!
