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 #103


May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Dear Miss Lia,

A wise Greek man once told your mother and I...
"First worry about your education...then you can worry about the boys!"
Great words to live by!!

Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go.
You have made my life complete, and I love you so.
Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darling I love you, and I always will.
Love me tender, love me long, take me to your heart.
For it's there that I belong, and we'll never part.
Love me tender, love me dear, tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years, til the end of time.
When at last my dreams come true, darling this I know,
Happiness will follow you, everywhere you go!
- Elvis Presley

May you always know how much you are loved.
