I just ordered some fabric from this site - I've never seen it before! This will be for my twin grandsons and my other 13 month old grandson, Henry. Momma and Daddy are deaf and I am so excited about this. Is it a good site? Guess its too late, cause I bought it. www.quiltfabriccloseouts.com. It has signs on it!!!!

Sorry..I dont know anything about the site, but I think the fabric sounds lovely! You could cut some individual signs out and applique names on or even an "I love you" for mum and dad !
I hope you post a pic!

Thank you, Karen, I will. Well see how the fabric is.

Sounds like a very thoughtful gesture and I'm sure they will love it!

Can't wait to see the fabric.

FYI-There are some children's books with basic signs.

And, my grandson has a Baby Einstein DVD that
teaches basic sign. BTW, he loves it and uses the
signs too!

Yes! I'm glad your grandson is signing, they say it helps for earlier speach. Baby Einstein is so cool, and have you heard Baby Mozart? Momma and Daddy got that for Henry, too. Henry is hearing, Mom and Dad are deaf, but Henry is signing and speaking - Henry knows a lot of signs and that maybe his first language, we will see. So far he is talking up a storm. I had just never seen fabric related to this, and I will show you when I get it!!!!!

Wow ! did this slip by me, I do not get on enough..

by Daughter is an Deaf Interpreter and translaterater for a school system. The baby signs are not true ASL but neccessary to be differant. The babies can not form the signs..

The way her 18 month son asks for Cracker is more like CRACK ! THe drug !! She blushes but he is so close to Cracker, he gets his point across!

We just visited a day care. His other grandma is getting tired.. grin.. He was off the charts with sign, he is a happy baby, gets his point across and all involved with this method approves as long as you talk the sign and sign back it is great communication..

Wow ! ^5

Henry does that too! My daughter was taught SEE signs (signing exact english) and then we expanded to ASL. Henry is hearing, and we all sign and speak at the same time to him. Which I also have always done with my daughter. Ummmm, I don't know the sign for crack! Too funny! Their little fingers are so cute when they sign!!!!!

Mplsgirl 03-12-2009 01:23 PM

I forgot to ask, how did your daughter get into interpreting?

OH your little Henry, if he is your avitar, he is a sweetie !

I laughed about this, not knowing the sign for crack.. No, I will not educated the public, the only reason my daughter knows is she works with deaf middle school kids everyday and needs to know, just a safety class every year with updates.

I can not wait to get this fabric. I have one grandling on the way.. maybe I can whip it up in time !

Wow, so happy I found the two posts about this fabric. How very modern are we to have weaving companies not just have super hero, cartoon - Strawberry shortcake and square bob square pants - to choose from !!!
