Mia's 117th Quilt Square: Dayton, Ohio

This is from my partner at work, Rod. We've been partners for 2 years. We work on a squad of nine people but somehow we were perfectly matched. We're like peanut butter and jelly. We just go well together. He makes coming to work much easier. He's been on this journey with me from the beginning. Unfortunately, he's just as bad a procrastinator as I am. Which explains why his is one of the very last quilt squares I received for Mia. Even though he's known about the project from day one. But that's my partner for ya. LOL! I've been very blessed to have worked with him and hope to continue this partnership as long as he'll have me.

He wrote "Believe in rewards that await you, believe in the harvest in store. Believe that spring will awaken, believe you'll be sowing once more. Believe that there's a tomorrow, where no one cares if you can't dance. Believe in the future's promise, each new day brings a new chance. Believe you can make your goals happen, they're just dreams with a deadline attached. Believe that you have the power, believe that you're more than a match. Believe in a shared existence, you're not alone this is true. Believe that right now there is someone, who believes in the wonder that's you."

Awww thanks "Uncle" Rod!

Mia's 116th Quilt Square: West Jordan, Utah


This is from fellow blogging family Troy, Robin and Sarah of West Jordan, Utah. Their blog is Sarah's Adventures. They adopted Sarah from Jiangxi, China in November 2005. She's a cutie, too.

They included a quote from Lao Tzu which reads "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength. Loving someone deeply gives you courage." And their wish for Mia reads " May your life be full of love giving you great strength to move mountains and immense courage to live out your dreams." Very nice.

Thanks Troy, Robin and Sarah!

Mia's 115th Quilt Square: Newark, Delaware

This is from fellow blogger, Stephe, in Newark, Delaware. Her blog is Giorgia Danette, which is the name she has chosen for her future daughter. She's logged in a few months ahead of me so I'll be able to watch her journey as she travels to China.

Her wish is a poem called Dreams which reads "One last road to travel... one last way to go. One more day to forever...just to let you know. The wait will soon be over...the journey now is almost through. And now this comes to let you know...dreams really do come true."

Thanks Stephe!

Mia's 114th Quilt Square: Enon, Ohio

I'm a little late in getting these last few stragglers up but here they are. This one came from my blogger buddy, Sam, from Enon, Ohio. She gave it to me last month when we had dinner at her place. She hasn't finished her wish yet but sent the fabric along so I could get it to my grandmother.

Thanks Sam! I'll update when you send the wish. :)
