28. The beauty of a memory quilt is that you can take all those little baby grows and cute outfits that you have excitedly bought for your baby and turn them into one gorgeous and practical item. It is a fabulous way of re purposing those precious outfits that you couldn't wait to see your baby grow into and were sad when they grew out of them. The added beauty of a memory quilt is that you can add your child's name and date of birth and your own personal touches, such as beautiful and meaningful words and quotes.
Beautiful quilt quote
You can choose to have something very personal, such as a family saying or you can look on the internet for something beautiful that strikes a chord in your heart and sums up exactly how you feel about your bundle of joy. Here are a few that I have found particularly beautiful:
There are tiny little fingers pressed against my chest and the palm of the hand that holds all my dreams. - Jacqueline M Sinkes
A gift you are from heaven above, a perfect example of God's precious love - Wendy Snyder
I have a baby girl, who is my shining light. She in my morning star that makes my world so bright! - Andrea Grey
We give you a bath and dress you all snug, we read you a book and give a kiss and a hug, we smile as we bid you a sweet goodnight, we blow you a kiss and we turn out the light - Laura
You will find that if you browse on the internet, there are some absolutely beautiful quotes and poems that would be perfect for your quilt.
I have found a lovely blog post here from 'A Quilters Diary' with lots of lovely ideas for not just baby quilts but wedding quilts and gifts for friends too.
There are also lots of sites on the internet that have thousands of quotes collected from all over that may be suitable for your special quilt. One of those such sites is www.goodreads.com and there is also another blog with some lovely quotes here. So if you would like any help deciding on a quote for your quilt (or blanket) do get in touch with me here. Until next time, Michelle x
