The Baby Twins Gift Project

[Frida]

Where there's a will, there's a way!

 

Exactly!

 

 

 

 

I have (another) idea. The quilt will be sent with a card (thank you Ashley!), how do you feel about a dvd-pocket at the back of it? I was thinking we could make a dvd with video greetings (and picture+ audio for those without a camera), congratulating them and the baby. I think we have a whole bunch of excellent video-editing people here if anyone is up for the task! What do you think?

I was so excited buying my fabric tonight that I told the guy at the cutting counter "THIS IS FOR CÉLINE DION!"

 

I couldn't resist. I just had to tell him. You should have seen his face.

 

It was amazing.

 

He thought I was insane.

 

I will never ever forget his face as long as I live. I mean, it was just

 

 

That's such a sweet idea! I'd love to be part of it one way or the other.

BOY we sure are getting more creativity on here, I think she would be speachless,,,,or do you think that would be To much at one time.. Just a thought.

[Frida]

A gift (the quilt) + a card with a dvd.. is that too much?

[Frida]

I would like to say a big 'thank you' to Lizzy for her very generous donation

[takeachance]

Maybe the dvd would be a bit much aswell. but i dont mind, there are alot of creative people in that department round here!

[Frida]

We'll skip the personal greetings then

Frida, before I buy my fabric, I just want to make sure I understand you correctly. The fabric must be 100% cotton and white/cream/beige (including the pattern on the fabric). The pattern must be small (I assume that is because you will have to cut it in squares and if the pattern is to big you won't see it). Will 1m be enough?

I'm gonna go buy my piece of fabric this week exciting!

[Frida]

That's correct Claudette! But you don't have to get 1m, 50x50 cm or "a fat square" is enough

 

 

Great vroni!

This is a great idea. I remember some fans doing something like this for Celine a way while back when she was in Las Vegas and she absolutely loved it. They had a lot of our favorite pictures printed onto fabric and she went crazy when she saw one of the patches was a photo of Celine, Rene, and RC of when they were all infants. I'm pretty sure it was Marisa who was in charge. I don't know if she still posts here. The last time I saw her post was in 2007 when she had tickets available for the final shows of A New Day. I'm sure you can contact her to find out how she got it to her. I don't think Celine has the quilt draped over her living room couch, but I'm sure she did something nice with it.

Thanks! I'll try to buy mine this week too. Edited October 11, 2009 at 09:18 PM by Claudette

Oooh, that sounds nice! (And the quilt is not for the living room couch, just something to prevent the baby puke/poop from ruining the million dollar baby crib J/K)

 

Marisa, if you read this, can you please help us?

[ashleylovesceline]

If you want to do a video thing, I can help with that too, of course. But I think the quilt and the card is more than enough.

 

As for the card, if any of you have any ideas as to what is should say, look like, etc. Let me know! And should we list all of the participants names inside? I came up with an idea about how there are threads that hold together a quilt, just like the threads that hold our forum together. But I don't think Céline would even know what a forum thread is... Haha.

 

I was part of the quilt project Marisa did, and she went backstage and gave it to her before a show in Las Vegas. It's always much, much easier to get things to Céline when she isn't on a break. But we'll figure something out.

[ladylindsey]

I like the thread connection! Good thinking! Haha Céline: "what's a tread?" haha. I can hear it now. I love projects like these! I just love giving gifts to people I care about, it's so much fun! Stitched with love from all of her fans. Love it.

[ghazal]

im in i really like it

 

but how can we send ot 4 u?

[andreasm]

yay!!! That would be a gr8 idea!!! I'd like to be a part of it!!! I'll send you a PM as soon as i get the fabric, and btw, I love your country (SWEDEN 12 POINTS)

I will also buy a card (FROG,Celine loves them & they are so wonderful, i always buy them when i have bdays) and whoever wants to write something down, send it on a white paper to you, and you can just cut them and put them on the card if you want.... I'll send it to you anyway!!!

 

THANKS
