Memorial Baby Quilt for Alden

This quilt is small and simple.  We brought it out at the memorial to baby Alden and asked guests to sign it with sentiments.  It was then gifted to the baby's father, my son Benigno,  to keep the warm wishes.

Memorial Quilt Alden William

We were expecting our second grandson in December, 2018, when we learned that he was affected by grave genetic annomalies and would not be able to survive.  I had been working on his baby quilt, with embroidered hobos accented with fabric tinting.  Set with flying geese in shades of blue.  Very similar to the quilt I made my first grandson.

We lost him 6 weeks before his due date, he died loved, inside the only home he ever knew.

Migrating Geese Baby Quilt

After making my first Migrating Geese Quilt, I decided it would be fun to make one where the geese wandered a bit.  I chose some neutral colors and made it baby quilt sized.
