Blankets of Love

Little quilts made for babies who don't survive their birth are often called Blankets of Love and many hospitals have these on hand to give to the grieving parents. It is a sad topic and my heart goes out to any parent who has been in this situation.

I was happy to spend time sewing 5 of these quilts recently. It reminded me of the strong community connection quilting has. Many of my friends make beautiful quilts for charities and fund raising raffles and never think of entering quilt shows. I love their work, generous spirit and the support and comfort they give to the wider community.
