Bai Jai Bei Quilt - 100 Good Wishes for our Kate

Here is the first annoucement of the name we will give to our daughter from China. We have chosen Katherine (from one of our favorite movies, Kate and Leopold). I wanted Kate, but Bart really liked the apology letter Leopold sent to Kate, starting "Dearest Katherine". Her middle name will include her given Chinese name in some way. This site is strictly to bore you with each and every quilt square I get for Kate and her 100 Good Wishes quilt. Any advice or comments are greatly appreciated.

Name:
Location: Missouri, United States

Mother and wife... Loving both roles! As you will see by these entries my family and friends are the best!

Great news! I shared the 100 good wishes quilt with the Moms at bible study. I have the keeper of the kids job. At first I thought it would help others by volunteering. I also wanted to give back to the church that helps us, in turn I realized I am the lucky one! There are usually 4 boys and all are completely unique and special in their own way. I love watching them smile and play and learn in the short hour and a half a week we have together. Lucy loves all the boys attention! I got off subject, back to the quilt!
The leader read the campaign letter, (due to be in your mailbox soon!) and after class told me if January wasn't too far away, she would quilt it or help me in the process. I was sooo excited. She seemed worried January was too far away, but little does she realize I will need til then to get 100 fabric squares!
This wonderful person even took time out of her "birthday" day to call and reinforce her offer! I was delighted! I had not worried or begun to get upset about the quilt delima. My 6th grade home-ec teacher only taught us how to stitch together a pillow. (I wonder what ever happened to my pink striped J and F?)

So if you did indeed go out and purchase "Quilting for Dummies" for me, take it back and return it for a 8x8 fabric (special to you) and a small piece to go with the good wish and send it to me so my ANGEL sent to help me can have something to do come January!
