It's DONE!!!
While we were in China, my mom stayed at our house and watched our dogs for us. She also found time to finish Lia's 100 Wishes Quilt! This was my mom's first quilting project, and I think she did an amazing job. GO MOM! Now it is my job to make the accompanying scrapbook with all the correlating "wishes", but I think I have some time...it will be a few years before Lia understands all this anyway...but I am excited for the day I get to show it all to her. Thanks again to everyone who submitted Squares/Wishes a.k.a "squishes" for the project - it turned out awesome!

Dear Lia,
I chose this fabric for your quilt because it is covered with my favorite flowers fuchsias. When I was a little girl there was a path in our backyard that had fuchsia bushes growing on either side. When I was your age I would walk along this path and the fuchsias were way taller than me. I imagined I was in a special hidden garden all my own.
Just before a fuchsia flower opens - it is a little closed pod that looks like it is about to burst. I know we are not supposed to get in the way of nature and rush a flower to bloom, but I found that those fuchsia pods were so tempting and fun to pop open. My wish for you is that you will appreciate those magical moments in a garden when you see a flower you've never seen before and it reminds you how every single living thing on earth (especially YOU) is unique and profoundly special.
Lia, I can't wait to walk through a fuchsia garden with you and have you help me pick out the BIGGEST PLUMPEST bloom to POP.
Love,
Your Great Aunt Kathy
