New toy to play with

Hi everyone...As some of you may know, there are days when I work but have no work to do. On these days I kinda get pretty bored. This is one of those days. I wanted to start at new blog for our soon to be Chinese daughter Emma. This new blog will be dedicated to the collection of Quilt Squares for her 100 Good Wishes Quilt.

Now I will begin the blogging posts.....

Our 100 Good Wishes Quilt request

I have finally decided to start working on Emma's 100 Good Wishes Quilt. *A 100 Good Wishes Quilt is a tradition that started in Northern China to welcome and celebrate a new life. A Bia, Jia Bei or 100 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 by email 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.
