I think your piece of art/generosity will go a long way toward healing Dayna's friend's broken heart. I understand their loss as we lost a grandchild but in my daughter's first trimester. Isn't it amazing how one comes to deeply love a little one even before they've made an appearance? Thank you for sharing the story as well as your design process. If you are still looking for a pattern tester I would love to be considered.

It is so hard to lose that dream and we are a society that has not really learned how to embrace those who are suffering. That pain has no timetable.

Having been through all the what-might-have-been, and the plans that can't help but be made, I know Grace will always be missed. What a sweet way to always remember a sweet baby. I just adore her single small heart - oddly enough it really stands out amongst all the others. The background fabric could not be more perfect, and the ragged half-heart just sums up the situation. {{{Hugs}}} a bunch for that whole family. I hope they know that not only the friends and family they are aware of are holding them up and surrounding them with strength, but that there is a whole wealth of quilters behind them silently sending them prayers and good wishes. You know I'd raise my hand for testing but just cannot with a sweet girl's birthday coming up on January 4th. {{Hugs}} for you as well - I adore seeing Rufus wondering what Bella's doing. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
