Odds and Ends to help with an Adoption

My sister-in-law and brother are looking at adopting a little, deaf boy in Columbia.  My sister-in-law is an ASL interpreter and really feels pulled to this boy.  However, their financial means do not make them able to lay their hands on the amount of cash needed to do all the background checks, paperwork, etc that have to be done.  They have completed the first step, and are looking to raise money to help with the next step in the process.  Here are some things that I made, most of them some time ago, that I am donating to her to sell (on Etsy, I believe), to earn some more money.

Tote bags with "I love you" in American Sign Language.





 Ball ornament, about the size of a softball.
Quilt I designed and made as a potential quilt for Laura Gunn to show off her (then) brand new quilting line - Painter's Canvas.  We ended up designing a different quilt (which is on this blog), but this is a smaller version (baby blanket size) of the one I designed. (My full size pattern, the blocks are still this size, there's just a LOT more of them). The small squares are 1".  It is nice and puffy and is hand quilted. (See photo below).
Nice wide headband. Never been worn.  Made as a demo for Fabric Nosherie.
