Not the most cheerful topic to post, but I would like the groups input.

Several years ago a guild member asked if we were interested in making bereavement quilts for infants who did not make it to term or were stillborn. The consensus was that it would be a very sad reminder for parents and so we put the idea aside.

I spoke with a woman who does photography at hospitals for such sad occasions and when she found out I was a quilter she begged me to make quilts for this purpose. She said the quilts or bears (bears with birthdate, name, etc.) show up in family photos later to represent the child who was lost.

If it is needed, it would be a wonderful project. I am asking if anyone has had experience with quilts for this purpose to please reply with your thoughts.
