I wanted to share this beautiful gift we received from blog reader and fellow blogger Kristin:
She made this quilt for us out of the clothes my mom had bought us for the Doodles that were never used. I blogged a while back (last time we moved - I swear we don't normally move once a year) that DH had sadly come upon the bag of Doodles' clothes and how sad it made me, and Kristin emailed and generously offered to make us a quilt out of these clothes. The cubes are made up of their onesies, the bibs hang from a ribbon clothesline that came from one of my maternity shirts, and that same shirt's fabric made the giraffes. I can't even describe how much I love this quilt. We will ALWAYS cherish it.
She also made the most adorable laundry bag out of another maternity shirt (actually, the one I wore to the hospital the night we lost the Doodles) and the remaining bibs:
Thanks so much to Kristin for her wonderful talent and the gifts she gave us!

I'm not sure why, but I can't see any of the pics. :(
I can't either :(
I can; but not from my blog reader. what a talented and thoughtful person.
Those are pretty fabulous quilts. Very nice.
What a wonderful gift she has given you! I have quilts that my mom made before she died and I have saved fabric that she left me in order to make baby quilts for my grandkids one day (I hope).
Doodle will be able to use that quilt and hopefully pass it on to his child some day, what an amazing memorial to the Doodles.
I am in awe of how thoughtful and precious these gifts are. She could have a spin-off business for couples in the same situation . . . who would then have a memory in which to wrap themselves up in.
HOW AWESOME!!!
That is so wonderful! I love it. Happy Birthday!
amazing and so thoughtful!
That's really sweet! What a great memory that will be... :)
Beautiful! What a wonderful gift...I love it!
How beautiful! I love it!
The quilts are great! Google Reader suggested your blog to me. I lost our little Sprout at 15 weeks, and are now trying again.
