Life isn’t always quilts, happiness and storybook endings.
But we all hope for the best and we prepare.
We make quilts for those that we love and those that we hope to cuddle with for a bit or a lifetime.
I made this quilt top for Baby Nicqelle. We knew she was entering the world with challenges, but that doesn’t prepare anyone now does it?
Though she was a small warrior, she simply couldn’t survive without heart and lung support and today she passed after nearly three months of struggle and prayers.
I’ll stitch my love up into the quilt and pass it on to her family.
Tonight, I’ll hold my family a little closer.
((((((Hugs))))) I’m sorry Katie. Love to you.
Oh man! I am so sorry! My prayers to her family and you!
what a great little piece of love you made for her and her family ultimately, a special tangible blessing, katie

I am sorry for your loss and your friends’ loss. My prayers go out to them tonight. May I just say your words were tender, thoughtful, and full of peaceful hopes for baby Nicqelle and her family. God bless you at this time.
My heart is with the family. I know the pain is so great, I hope it eases on time.
Oh I’m so sorry – you hope that every baby will make it, that medicine is strong enough, but sometimes it just isn’t. Sucks. The quilt is gorgeous and the love you pour into it will make it so special to the family. Hugs to you all.
Your words of love and your quilt are both equally beautiful and touching. I am sorry for you painful grief and pain.

So sad when a little life passes on ~ sending love to Nicqelle’s family. The quilt will be a wonderful thing to have.

My prayers go out to all…..
So sorry to hear – loosing a child is earth shattering. My good thought are headed to both you and Nicqelle’s family. I am sure that they will cherish your quilt for years to come.
Heartbreaking…so glad you’ve chosen to give the quilt to the family. It’s lovely…
So very sorry to hear this.
My heart reaches thru the darkness to touch theirs.
Such heartbreak. I spent last night with a friend coming up to the 1 year anniversary of the death of her little girl. It is an awful thing for anyone to experience. Big hugs.
Oh, so heart breaking. Saying I’m so sorry for your loss doesn’t begin to be enough to express my deepest sympathies…
