Thank you Amy for once again hosting this fun Quilting Event in Blog-land.
And Thank YOU for stopping by to see my entry.
Im entering my quilt into the Baby Quilt category.
An unexpected gift of comfort for an unimaginable loss...
The story of how a gift of my love and admiration became a great source of comfort and strength;
I made this baby quilt for a dear friend of mine whose miracle baby girl was nearing her due date. Throughout her pregnancy, every milestone seemed like a huge hurtle. Once each milestone was prayerfully met, on to the next with more prayers and caution. As the pregnancy neared 38 weeks, relief and gratitude filled their home and hearts. For at any time, this sweet baby girl could come and all would be healthy and well.
It was the 38th week when I delivered my quilt. As I handed the quilt to my friend's husband, he shared with me devastating news. News he had only been give a couple of hours prior. There was no heart beat. Their sweet miracle baby was now an angel.
Not knowing the significance and comfort a quilt could bring to someone.
A few months after my friend's loss, she shared with me how appreciative she was of the quilt.

She told me, when she's having a hard day she will lay on her bed with the quilt. And when she gets up, she folds it up nice and puts it back in her baby's crib. She expressed how much comfort the quilt brings to her.
Up until this moment, I didn't fully realize the significance and comfort a quilt could bring to someone. This reaffirmed to me, how much a quilt is a gift of love. How blessed I feel to have been able to offer a gift that would bring much needed comfort and healing.
