What a great idea to give to Moonbeam's parents. Good luck to your granddaughter.

That is a very precious quilt, that will always be cherished. Thank you for your thoughtfulness & generosity. I myself have lost a daughter, although my daughter was 23 yrs old-she's been gone for 2 years now. That is a priceless gift & will provide so much comfort!!

So precious and so sweet. Beautiful thought.

Such a sad story. A precious memory quilt and will mean so much to his parents.
Thanks for the update on your DGD and happy she is doing well!

Gifts from the heart should be told on newschannels so that the public can listen to "good things" instead of all the "bad things" that happen in our daily lives. We need some heart warming stories of people who sew quilts for others.

The quilt is so sweet for a sweet memorial. I am sure Moonbeam's parents will love it.

That's a wonderful gift. It will mean so much to them. Yesterday I gave a memory quilt to some friends that have recently lost their young son. I used his T shirts to make the quilt.

My sincere condolences. I cannot imagine how shattering it must be to lose a child, no matter how young or grown up that child is. Thank you for your compliment. Sending healing thoughts your way.

My daughter came to know a woman in Australia during their respective pregnancies. Their babies were diagnosed at 22 weeks with the same heart defect. Her son died after 26 hours - a week before my granddaughter's birth. I got to know her via the Internet and my daughter. It was heartbreaking. The expectation was that my granddaughter wouldn't survive either. Babies with this anomaly usually die during labor.

I cried for days. As you know, my granddaughter survived, but her upcoming surgery is a reminder of LIFE's fragility.

Anyway, I NEEDED to DO something to support and express my sympathy for this young family. Australia is a LONG way from Arizona. I contacted her and told her I wanted to plant a tree in her son's memory. (I hadn't begun quilting yet.) There's a plaque (I painted) at the base of the tree with "In memory of Connor" on it and a LIVING reminder of a significant, albeit brief life.

I'm not bragging, just sharing that in times of grief sometimes we too need to DO SOMETHING not only for the family, but also for ourselves to work through our own grief.

I find quilting very therapeutic and the hours I spend working on quilts gives me time to think about the recipient and how a quilt brings immeasurable comfort - in MANY ways.

Hope you don't mind me getting off subject.

Beautiful little memory quilt, and so nice of you to make it for Moonbeam's parents. I pray your DGD will live a long and healthy life, in spite of all her challenges. We need to remember that God is in charge and holds her close to His heart. Sad that little ones have to suffer. God bless you all.

Oh how cute.

How very nice of you to think of this quilt for Moonbeam's parents. It is so sweet.

What a great idea! I know Moonbeam's mother has his onesies and sleepers (baby clothes), but she said she's not ready to part with them just yet. I understand completely. I had thought of turning them into a quilt, but this worked out - once I found fabric with moons.

You are so wonderful to do this for them Bless your heart and you! Jan

Precioua angel quilt. I love the angels and it's a lovely gift. Sue

What a lovely thing to do. I am sure his parents will appreciate it...Lovely quilt.

ditto.

Her name is Julianne

It did bring tears to my eyes. It is so sad to hear such things happening to such babies. Hopefully the little girl will live a long time.

What sweet fabric for a memory quilt.

I applaud you sharing that; you didn't get totally "off-subject". You're right, sharing with others brings about healing & working through our own grief. "A burden shared is a burden halved"-unknown :roll:

I am so sorry about your grandson. My 14 year old grandson has a problem with his heart. Doctors have been watching it since he was born. He has to go for a stress test next week as he just made the Freshman football team. He may need an angioplasty. Our great grandson born May 21 has the same condition only more serious. He had an angioplasty interuterine four months before he was born. Granddaughter had to go to Boston for his birth and over a month after his birth. He had three or four angioplasties. They are watching him very closely. They may have to go back to Boston for more procedures. We pray and take it one day at a time. His seems to be a strong willed baby which is apparently helping him. Doctors and nurses in Boston were amazed at his progress. The power of prayer!!!

It is so wonderful that you made something for the parents - and the quilt is lovely, just perfect for this occasion.
