Quilt Square #120

This square is from the Perry family in California. They just got back from picking up their beautiful daughter, Kaylee, and sent the most beautiful announcement with their squares. She sure looks happy and like she's adjusting very well! What a beautiful little girl!!!

Little Friend:

We hope life gives you many wonderful and unexpected gifts!

The Gift of Life

I didn't give you the gift of life,

But in my heart, I know,

The love I feel is deep and real,

As if it had been so.

For us to have each other

is like a dream come true!

No, I didn't give you the gift of life,

Life gave me the gift of YOU.

~Unknown

Drench yourself in words unspoken

Live your life with arms wide open

...The rest is still unwritten.

Quilt Square #107

This beautiful fabric is from the Sansone family.

Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate

Though the road may wander, it will lead me to you.

And a thousand years, would be worth the wait

It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through.

And I won't look back

I can go the distance

And I'll stay on track

No I won't accept defeat.

It's an uphill slope,

But I won't lose hope,

'Til I go the distance and my journey is complete.

From Disney's Hercules "Go the Distance"

Hope, like the gleaming taper's light,

Adorns and cheers our way;

And still, as darker grows the night,

Emits a brighter ray.

A dream is a wish your heart makes

When you're fast asleep.

In dreams you will lose your heartaches,

Whatever you wish for, you keep.

Have faith in your dreams and someday

Your rainbow will come smiling through.

No matter how your heart is grieving,

If you keep on believing,

The dream that you wish will come true.
