The other day after watching General Conference, we watched a bit of the movie 17 Miracles, depicting just a few of the miracles the pioneers experienced on their journey west. Through our humanitarian efforts making quilts for organ donors and for those in need, we have seen many miracles! Here are just three of the most recent miracles we have seen, comforting families through our quilts.
Recently there was a sweet 6-year old boy who was admitted to the hospital with new onset seizures and it turned out that he had a non operable brain tumor. He had a sweet twin brother, and they put both of their hand prints on the quilt that we made. The twin asked if he got to keep his brother's blanket. The family was so grateful for the quilt. They told everyone who came in to say goodbye to their little boy that a beautiful group of church ladies made the quilt, so they were wrapping him up tight in it. They said you can't go wrong wrapped in a blanket made by church ladies!
There was a woman driving home with a friend from volleyball practice in Montana, and the friend hit a pole and ejected her. She had a devastating head injury. She had a very lovely family and they were grateful for the quilt.
There was recently a donor quilt on a 16 week old baby boy. It meant a lot to his mom to have that piece of remembrance for her little son after he passed.
Thanks for sharing these tender remembrances!
