To all you wonderful quilters,
When you began this group, it brought tears to my eyes. You see, a year and a half ago, my first granddaughter was stillborn. I remember thinking how I wished someone had made a bereavement quilt for my daughter.
It turns out, someone did. Last night, my daughter told me that when Lily was stillborn, the hospital gave her a beautiful flowered quilt to wrap her in. It was so beautiful, my daughter told me, that they chose to have her buried in it, knowing they were sending her to the grave wrapped in warm loveliness. She said it meant so much to them.
The hospital explained that a volunteer made the quilt. I wish you all could have heard my daughter talk about it so that you could see the face of a young mother and what comfort that quilt brought to her.
Thank you all for volunteering your time, talent, and treasure for this wonderful service project. Just knowing that little Lily is wrapped in such a quilt is a deep comfort to me.
