100 Good Wishes - One Squish at a Time!

To welcome and celebrate a new life, there is a tradition in the northern part of China to make a Bai Jia Bei, or 100 Good Wishes Quilt. It is a custom to invite friends and family to contribute a patch of cloth with a wish for the baby. Part of the patch of cloth goes into the quilt for the baby, and the other part of the cloth can go into a creative memory notebook with the wish for the child. The quilt contains the luck, energy, and good wishes from all the families and friends who contribute a piece of fabric.

Squish #60


I am so very special, I have been from the start.
Before they held me in their arms, my family held me in their hearts.
And like a single drop of rain, that on still waters fall,
My life and love will ripples make and touch the lives of all.
So read this precious story as step by step I grow,
I am a blessing and a gift as each page here will show.
