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.

Could you ask that question to a NICU nurse, perhaps? I find an outright refusal of this offer pretty odd, don't you?
