OUR “LOVED” BABY QUILTS
Our quilts, of bassinette size, which are gifted to the family after the birth of a child, are a reminder to the family and to the child, that they are precious. The word “LOVED” is appliquéd on the front of the quilt, together with a small heart.
Ribbons.......a BLESSING and a celebration
Four special ribbons are sewn on the quilt, and the first knot in each ribbon is tied by the LOVED 4 LIFE™ team member who is making the quilt. As they tie the ribbons they think positive thoughts for the child and the family, or say a blessing.....
“May God’s love like sunlight, always surround you.”
When we give the parents the quilt, we encourage them to use the ribbons as a celebration of the child’s development. They can then tie a knot in the ribbons when they notice any of the many positive things that the child does, e.g. a smile, a first tooth, a chuckle, learning to sit up etc.
A LOVED 4 LIFE™ label is sewn onto the back of the quilt with the child’s name on it and the name of the chapter who are giving the quilt to the baby.
