The Process


Welcome to the crowdfunding page for Baby Curry's peipei!

A long, long time ago, there was a cherished baby who was part of a loving village.

The villagers were delighted to welcome their newest member and decided to bestow upon the baby a special gift. They collected many pieces of fabric and sewed them together to form a bai jia bei 百家被, or a “100 families quilt.”

It is said that a bai jia bei contains the love and well-wishes from a village. This custom has been passed down for thousands of years and now our loving village can participate in this tradition!

We will bestow upon Baby Curry a peipei 被被, or a handmade, patchwork “blankie.” 

Let's infuse love into its patches to comfort him and collect wishes to nourish him!

May Baby Curry know his village will cherish him forever  ♡

Learn More about Baby Peipei


It takes a village

From Baby Peipei: Our children's nainai (paternal grandmother) taught us about a Chinese tradition called Bai Jia Bei whereby family, friends, and village members contribute fabric to make a quilt for a new baby.

This idea of a community-gifted quilt has inspired us to create patchwork peipeis and have Baby’s loved ones crowdfund them by purchasing the individual fabric patches.

About Us

Love you can feel

What makes a peipei so special is the uniqueness of each person’s love. When a patch is purchased, each village member is asked to leave a special message for Baby.

These messages are incorporated into a board book that can be read and cherished forever.

Treasured for a lifetime

All peipeis are handmade in Brooklyn, NY by NaiNai who has decades experience as a seamstress.

We chose soft poplin for the patchwork top and cozy cotton Sherpa for the backing. All fabrics we use are 100% organic cotton.

The professional craftwomanship and high-quality materials produce a blanket that will embrace the recipient for life; from tummy time to fort building and beyond!
