I love the groups that get ahold of old wedding dresses and make outfits for the child to be dressed in when 1st presented to the parents. I've suggested it to a couple of groups I sew with but no sincere interest. I think it's because the child is deceased and it's a very sad circumstance to deal with. BUT I have also heard about parents who got the outfit or quilt and they were very grateful. Someone acknowledged that they had a child, and thats very important.

After reading this thread I thought I would love to do the same so I enquired at a large hospital in my capital city if they would accept little quilts for angels and was told no. Quite took me aback I must admit; very disappointing.

Our quilt guild makes quilts for this purpose. One of our members was approached by a woman who had lost a grandchild and told the quilter that it was her daughter's most prized possession, because it was something that had touched her baby.

Do you suppose they didn't realize what you were talking about?
Could you ask that question to a NICU nurse, perhaps? I find an outright refusal of this offer pretty odd, don't you?
