Wishing you a life filled with love, laughter and dreams fulfilled.

Thank-you Liam and Sherry-Lou Tunny for the cute yellow ladybug fabric and good wish. They are adopting Olivia from China. We met Sherry-Lou at the Culture Camp. It will be great for Jamie to play with Olivia.

Thank-you Kim Bowes for our very first fabric square and good wish!!! Your fabric is so cute with the Asian girls on it. Kim is adopting Channing through the WC program using FOI agency too. We enjoyed meeting her at the Culture Camp and hope that Channing and Jamie will be playmates. Kim lives just down the #1 highway from us!!!

Welcome to Jamie's 100 Good Wishes Quilt

To welcome and celebrate a new life there is a custom in China to make a Bai Jia Bei or "100 Good Wishes Quilt." It is a custom to invite 100 people to contribute a fabric square and a blessing, prayer, or good wish to accompany the square. The 100 squares of fabric are sewn together to create a quilt that will contain luck, energy and good wishes from all family and friends that contributed a fabric square.

This blog is set up for Jamie's Bai Jia Bei Quilt. We invite our family and friends to send a wish on a card with a 1x1" swatch attached to the card and a 8x8" prewashed fabric sqare for her quilt. This blogsite will help us to track our squares and good wishes. We plan to collect the squares, create a keepsake album of all the good wishes, and take a quilting class to learn to quilt. Finally, we will sew the quilt to welcome Jamie and to let her know how much she is loved when we bring her home.
