Before I even knew about Rebecca's quilts having a special "power" in them to make people cry, I cried when I received this w
onderful surprise gift in the mail! Not knowing that as I shared weekly updates with Rebecca about my pregnancy, unexpected challenges, food cravings, belly growther and then finally about our baby Luna and becoming new parents...that all that time she was secretly quilting away and praying for my new baby girl, is a gift I've never experienced before that took my breath away. But then again knowing Rebecca, it does not totally surprise me, given her generous spirit and heart, which I know she lovingly stitched into Luna's quilt. How my little explorer loves that quilt, we use it for play time, learning to roll over and practicing colors, numbers and animals in Spanish. When we travel so does the quilt, which is perfect for my traveling heart and our lifestyle. My wish for you Rebecca - is that for every quilt you craft and and offer in love, that even from a distance you will be filled with love and joy from the delight and pleasure that the recipient feels every time they look at, use or in our case...drool on...their extraordinary quilt. Que Dios te bendia amiga.(written by Kelly Showalter, Luna's mom)
The first quilt I ever made was for my god daughter, Bekah in 1994. To learn more about this quilt, please see the Pieces and Wholeness in the January 2009 folder.
