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.

Dearest Lia,

Welcome to the family. We cannot tell you how happy we are that you are with us at last. Your cousins from California wish you every happiness. May God bless you and keep you in his care. We pray for a healthy, happy life for you and may all your dreams come true.

Love,

Bette & Reynold Marin
