Yes, there will be a 4th Stricklin

"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break." - Chinese proverb - - We are a family. Our faces are different as are our races. In the end, what really matters is our love for one another. We are blessed beyond measure. Enjoy as we share pieces of our life with you.

The Quilt

I've had wonderful responses to my quilt request. I truly appreciate it. There's plenty of time to get the fabric to me. I won't start it until after the holidays so if you can get them to me by 12/31/05 that would be great.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, here is the short 411. The quilt is called 100 Good Wishes. It is a Chinese tradition to ask friends and family to donate material for the quilt along with an explanation of why you chose that particular piece of material (and a wish for the child). The material is made into a quilt for the child. The quilt is then passed on through the generations.

I wanted to do the quilt as a way of preserving the cultural heritage of our child and to help him/her realize how much we truly wanted them to be a part of our life.
