100 "Good Wishes"/Prayer Quilt

I thought I would just send a quick note to remind you all about the 100 "Good Wishes"/Prayer Quilt.

The concept is super simple, but I know some of you were a little confused, so hopefully this will help.

Basically, you just need to provide a square of fabric (8 inch square-new or used)...you do not need to quilt the square or add anything to it...of course if you already have, no worries.

We will be taking all the squares and patching them together to make a quilt.

In addition to the square, please attach a note, prayer, verse, etc. for Ellie. With the note, include a small scrap (like 1 inch or so) from your fabric, so that we can see which person sent which fabric :-)...if the fabric has a special meaning, please note that as well!!

We will be making a scrapbook of all the notes to keep as a memory for Ellie.

Doing a quilt like this is a special tradition in China for a new baby, so we thought we would carry that out, and since there are so many of you who have been so instrumental in our journey to bringing her home, we would love for her to know who all of you are :-)!!

We originally had the due date for the fabrics as Oct. 20, but since we were gone in China, things got put a little on hold, so no worries if you haven't sent one.

If you are here in Lodi, feel free to give it to me, send it in the mail, or put it in Tim's box.

If you are in San Diego, you can either mail it to our parents, or give it to them in person :-).

If you live somewhere else and need to mail it, message me and I will give you the address.
