I haven't met you yet, but maybe we will on the 27th if you're going to the FCC Chinese New Year fest. I'd love to exchange quilt squares with you. I just started one for Sarah 'cause we didn't know about it til after we were home with her and I didn't want her to miss out. On our blog there's a "contact us" link and you can email me there, we can exchange addresses, etc! Robin http://sarahs-adventures.blogspot.com http://sarahsquilt.blogspot.com
I have finally decided to start working on Emma's 100 Good Wishes Quilt.
*A 100 Good Wishes Quiltis a tradition that started in Northern China to welcome and celebrate a new life. ABia, Jia Beior100 Good wishes Quilt is made. 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 goes into a scrapbook with the wish for the child. The quilt contains the blessings of all the families and friends who contributed a piece of fabric.
*This is what we are requesting...*We like all kinds of fabrics, stripes, plaids, asian prints , stars, girly fabric... etc. (You get the idea).
*We would prefer 100% pre-shrunk or pre-washed fabric.
*We are looking for 8x8 rotary cut squares or 9x9 scissor cut squares.
*We would love to get a wish from you to our daughter Emma.
*You have a lot of freedom when creating your wish for Emma. People find their inspiration in different ways.
*Some people use song lyrics, a quote, a bible verse or even a word with its definition. How creative you want to be is up to you.
*For a wish...make it no larger than 8X10 that has a space on it to write your wish, and glue a little piece of the fabric you sent.
*If you would like to contribute (and we hope that you do)...please contact us byemail and we will send you information on where to send your square & wish.
*So all of our family, friends and soon to be friends please send us a wish and a square. So Emma can have a little piece of your heart, and you'll have a place in hers.
