A few years ago my mom was in a "Big Brohter Big Sister Program". Where she is from they call it "Companions for Kids". My mom got a little companion named Sarah. We met her when she was 11. She had/has a very bad home life. Her mom was not mentally right at all. Sarah's mom had a baby when Sarah was about 12 or so. Sarah found herself pretty much raising her baby sister. It was just an awful life for a young girl to have.
Now at just a little over Sixteen Years Old, Sarah has had her own baby. Sarah has really no support or help from anybody. She has left her mothers home and is living with a friend. However, not one person in the household has a job. Sarah, being only 16, has plans to go back to school. I hope she does!! I really hope she amounts to more than what her mother was for her. Sarah seems to be a good mom, but she is young. To young to have to give up the rest of her life. Having a baby is hard. It's even harder when you are still a child yourself.
So, I just pray Sarah can give that baby her all.
I have made this quilt top for Sarah's baby, Mia. I hope to have it finished in the next week or so for her :-)
I realize the striped block are a little off....... Me and straight lines don't mix well...........

You know, I don't think that anyone will care that the stripes are off any..by the way..weren't they supposed to look that way. Really all that matters here is that Sarah feels love from somewhere...with this gift, she will know for sure that she AND her baby have someone who cares about them and what happens to them. It sounds like she has a really hard road ahead of her, I hope she makes it..the quilt is beautiful!

:-) :-) I know the feeling on those lines.....I save them for borders or cut on the diaganial...now that will work.... I'm sure she won't care any how....love the pink

What a nice and cheerful quilt!!! I'm sure it will be much loved!

Very nice. A lot of love went into that quilt. So it will be loved.

Thank You.

Beautiful quilt. I'm sure Sarah could use all the love and support she can get right now. So glad you and your mom are there for her.

I love that quilt.... you are a lovely kind person... just the person she needs.... well done...

You did a great job on that !!
Really pretty.
You will be very surprised after its quilted it will not show at all .

Thank you for welcoming the baby with such a beautiful warm gift. :D
