We heard a sweet story from one of the women who helps coordinate everything with our quilt donations.
There was a sweet 6 year old boy who had new onset seizures and it turned out that he had a non-operable brain tumor. He had a twin brother, so we put both of their hand prints on the quilt. The twin asked if he got to keep his brother's blanket. The family was so thankful for the quilt. They told everyone who came in to say goodbye to their son that a beautiful group of church ladies made it, so they were wrapping him up tight in it. They'd say, "You can't go wrong in a blanket made by church ladies" and smile :)
We are so blessed to be making these quilts that bring comfort and joy to these grieving families.
Join us any Tuesday morning at the church and use your time to spread smiles.
