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.

Squishes #70 & #71

(Chinese symbol for "friendship")

It is fun to have a friend who will play with you.
It is fun to have a friend who can stay with you.
It is fun to have a friend for a whole life through.
But to have a friend, you must be a friend too.

The Wood family hopes to always be your friends. We share in the the excitement of you coming to your forever family. You are special to us.
