Yes, you know who you are :) We would love for all of you to partipate in Kaylee's 100 Wishes Quilt. Our dear friend Karyn has volunteered to put our quilt together and we want to give her plenty of time to have it ready for Kaylee's arrival.
For those of you who need a refresher on what we're doing and are too embarrassed to ask me again about what you're supposed to do, read below:
It is known as the Bai Jia Bei (100 Wishes Quilt). It is a Chinese tradition to welcome and celebrate life. The quilt is made of fabric from family and friends who donate the fabric along with wishes for the child. It is said that the luck, energy and good wishes from all of the families and friends who contributed the fabric surrounds the child when she is wrapped in the quilt. The quilt is then passed down from generation to generation.
You will send us 2 things - a patch of cloth and a written wish. Most of the cloth will go towards making the quilt and a teeny piece will go into a scrapbook with the wish for Kaylee.
FABRIC: One 8"x8" square of cotton cloth. It can be new or "used and meaningful" fabric. (Please wash the material before you cut it so it won't fray or bleed.)
WISH: This is the fun part. Send us a 3"x5" or 4"x6" card (or larger if you wish) with a good wish for Kaylee and a scrap of your fabric (glued to the paper). Your wish can be simple or elaborate, handwritten or typed. It can be a prayer, something you wrote or a favorite Bible Verse, poem, lyric, or quote. Your wish can be deep and thought-provoking or something as simple and fun as a wish for a lifetime of great hair days. Please remember to sign your wish.
One day Kaylee will be able to look back at all of the wishes and prayers that were sent while we waited for her arrival.
I know y'all would like for Kaylee's quilt to be bigger than a pot holder.....so send them in!
