A Quilt to Remember
Words cannot even begin to describe the feelings I felt as I opened a mysterious package that arrived on my doorstep today. Inside was a beautiful quilt made with love and prayers by a group of ladies from an internet forum I am a part of. Of special note is the center block. It is Emily and the outfit she had on in the picture that has become how everyone remembers Emmy. It is also the outfit she was buried in (minus the hat...I just could not let go of the hat). An extra quilt block was made into a pillow to match. Aren't they breathtaking? What wonderful Christian sisters!

Hi Amy~
WOW! Beautiful! You are loved! Emily is missed...even by those that never met her in person. Other mother feel your pain and cry along with you. God shows His face though those that care about us. Those ladies that made that Awesome quilt really care.
What a great way to remember your sweet baby!
Peace in Christ,
Georgiann
Amy,
That is so beautiful. What a precious gift.
I'm thinking of having something made with Anna's clothing, but I can't get myself to let the outfits get cut up. We'll see...
Thank you for sharing - it's just beautiful and I'm sure an absolute treasure.
Love,
Lynnette
That is so sweet of them to make - and such a beautiful keepsake!
So glad you received it! xoxo
Wow Amy, that is gorgeous. And it's a testimony to the love that other people feel for you and little Emmy. I'm touched by it. A true labor of love. I pray that it is like the Balm of Gilead, soothing to the heart and soul.
Beautiful! Too bad it hadn't arrived in time for me to see it in person. Such a neat gift for them to give you!
