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 # 128


A Truth (not a Wish):
You can do ANYTHING!
You can be ANYONE or ANYTHING!

"Listen to the MUSTN'Ts, child. Listen to the DON'Ts.
Listen to the SHOULDN'Ts, the IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'Ts.
Listen to the NEVER HAVEs, then listen close to me...
ANYTHING can happen child, ANYTHING can be."
- Shel Silverstein (Where the Sidewalk Ends, 1974)
