A little about the Special Family

I thought that I better explain about the quilts that are below. Since I have become a blog-hopper (or whatever you would call it) I have been following a little girl's blog that has an inoperable brain stem tumor. She is 5 years old, and has 2 little sisters. I wanted to do something for the little girls, and being that they live in Utah county, I thought it was something that I could achieve without much money, time or difficulty. (I also have quite a stash of flannel on hand). I decided that I could make a quilt for all three little girls and take them to the family.
Last Thursday evening, I had made arrangements to deliver the blankets to the family, and when my daughter Heather got off work, she rode with me to go deliver the quilts. Heather had made some little name tags to put on each quilt in colors that matched the quilts, she then folded them lengthwise, and then rolled them up (sort of like a sleeping bag, but not that big) and tied a ribbon around them and put the name tag on the ribbon.
We were welcomed with open arms and hugs, and we seen 3 little girls with smiles on their faces and sparkle in their eyes when they each were given a quilt (machine quilted with a little flower design) of their very own.
It was a very heart warming experience for me, and I wanted to share it with you.
