I guess we should name our little girl Sunshine since so many have been impressed to pick out this fabric - including 3 family members!

Especially the Ludwig family in AL who sent this piece of material with Samford bulldogs all over it (our alma mater). I think she sent this on the way to the hospital to deliver her son.

I am totally not a Gator's fan. It fact we pull for Miami. But, I love that the Randles - the Gator loving family in FL sent this as representing themselves. It's a good thing Erik doesn't get to discard any squares. I think this might be the first one to go!! Both of the Randles were also college friends of mine.<br /><br /></div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjildVJ0FIHJCvL4SploGDPkPvsfKN_496_6plVhHKhN8T2dEH-7wvwhii-qVxlU1DVti3Va2EUBZxlySz6cUnKk80sIENmLJh3ci8LpvkHZPzxMQ4NsdL4URvkh20rnVcyR6SL7F_Ge53K/s1600-h/DSCF8639.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5116081966684761842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjildVJ0FIHJCvL4SploGDPkPvsfKN_496_6plVhHKhN8T2dEH-7wvwhii-qVxlU1DVti3Va2EUBZxlySz6cUnKk80sIENmLJh3ci8LpvkHZPzxMQ4NsdL4URvkh20rnVcyR6SL7F_Ge53K/s320/DSCF8639.JPG" border="0" /></a> #103 I was so relieved to finally get this one in the mail. We think it took the long way around the world in a boat! It is from my sister and family who lives in Holland. They have a cute little picture of them on their card little did they know at the time there were 2 more little ones on the way for them!! Katy searched long and hard for her "perfect" fabric in a world without Joanne's and such - Thanks for your contribution for your niece and cousin.

Not only did we get a nice pink cotton fabric, but a gorgeous Varanasi silk piece to boot. I haven't cut it down yet, because I don't know if I need to do anything different for this type of fabric with all it's beautiful golden threading. I do plan to put a few people to shame with the effort she put forth to get these squares to us- check soon on my family blog.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHlTYb3_3wKxzbHOdKAu0eejryK5-eQLaJvSUuNLO5PLyNNxfYrCvXG0RWHqi966D7508bVhhSEPX2s7Fwe0Xjri1ajF2D-T7xKjsnt9KZ7ZL0k4TbQk2U-dsK7OqEeb4TP4U_P1cAEB6_/s1600-h/DSCF8326.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073509649528675106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHlTYb3_3wKxzbHOdKAu0eejryK5-eQLaJvSUuNLO5PLyNNxfYrCvXG0RWHqi966D7508bVhhSEPX2s7Fwe0Xjri1ajF2D-T7xKjsnt9KZ7ZL0k4TbQk2U-dsK7OqEeb4TP4U_P1cAEB6_/s320/DSCF8326.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4iLo7NssJv5BZ6_-x10yXh0GbyXdP3gFw2yzbgifF8dTP1NZAF0PWuDcpYld0o4LoiXa2p4Xz11II3fQFJWDySvJ_eF1ckaOCb7qgbxyImMH49ENecIMm9Bx8ozEezN2TjVT2GCGxvnX3/s1600-h/DSCF8325.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073509653823642418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4iLo7NssJv5BZ6_-x10yXh0GbyXdP3gFw2yzbgifF8dTP1NZAF0PWuDcpYld0o4LoiXa2p4Xz11II3fQFJWDySvJ_eF1ckaOCb7qgbxyImMH49ENecIMm9Bx8ozEezN2TjVT2GCGxvnX3/s320/DSCF8325.JPG" border="0" /></a> #76 I love this fun summery red print it was sent to us by some friends we made during our time in Europe.

This was my first ladybug print and I am sure to receive many more. Ladybugs have become a symbol of good luck among the Chinese adoptions. There was a big surge them the year that China opened adoptions to the US in the 90's. From then on they have gone hand in hand!!<br /></p><p><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgysWHNpGyjkx1qG0w6iIntyr0mipDw90ICRdiMf6JVe-ncGmRpkNvezxLC9Tls-S53M-IebCW9R4Aeh-p5GOF5Cud9MJaBf_LDL3mQb46P_Bm5PG3GlpWypotEa03YRvl2wqeIMa0OWMLQ/s1600-h/DSCF7768.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053750556961233858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgysWHNpGyjkx1qG0w6iIntyr0mipDw90ICRdiMf6JVe-ncGmRpkNvezxLC9Tls-S53M-IebCW9R4Aeh-p5GOF5Cud9MJaBf_LDL3mQb46P_Bm5PG3GlpWypotEa03YRvl2wqeIMa0OWMLQ/s320/DSCF7768.JPG" border="0" /></a> #10 - This is a tradtional bee toy is played with children in New Zealand where Haley Hoppe is originally from.

Their wish was this - "May your life be full of adventure"Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10426154833162621279noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183194301830947363.post-90377731523962112052007-04-12T19:21:00.000-07:002007-04-12T20:38:58.711-07:00Squares + Wishes = SquishesCan you Spare a Square ?<br /><br />To welcome and celebrate a new life, there is a tradition in China to make a Bai Jia Bei, or 100 Good Wishes Quilt. It is a custom to invite friends and family to contribute a square patch of cloth with a wish for the baby. The main 8×8 patch of cloth goes into the quilt for the baby, and the other small part of the cloth goes into a creative memory notebook with the wish for the child. The quilt contains the thoughts, prayers, and good wishes from all the families and friends who contributed a piece of fabric.<br /><br />Would you like to send us a square?? Here’s how: Find a good quality, 100% cotton piece of cloth that you like. Prewash the fabric in the washer, cold water. Cut it into a square, 8×8 inches. This is the square that goes into the quilt. Next, cut a 1×1 inch square and paste it to a card (can be an index card, piece of card stock, etc.). Beside the 1×1 square, write a wish…this can be as simple as a few words of good wishes, lines from a song, poem, bible verse, etc. Include your information…name, how you found us, and where you’re from. This way, we can have a record of which quilt square goes with what wish and how many places our wishes came from!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10426154833162621279noreply@blogger.com2
