When my own children are sick I feel so helpless and lost when I can't make them feel better. But they do get better. The are healthy kids. I can't even begin to imagine the emotions Mia's family is going through at this time with her heart struggles. My heart aches for her mom. And on top of all this their insurance will not cover all the expensive surgeries and needed health care.
But baby Mia finally got her heart! Here is cute Mia when her mom finally got to hold her after the transplant surgery. Imagine not being able to hold your little baby for so long.
So it's a happy quilt giveaway! But she still has a long road of recovery ahead of her. And the medical bills and medication costs will keep piling up. So if you can we would love you to help her family.A recent quilt giveaway got 2100 entries. Could you imagine if everyone who entered donated a dollar? It could be such a blessing for little Mia. I don't know that we will be able to get those kind of numbers but anything will help.
So here it is, my quilt to help baby Mia. The quilt measures 38x45 inches. Perfect to cuddle up with as a lap quilt or if you can stand to give it up, use as a crib quilt.

Bless you for doing this for this family. My 7 month old son died from a coronary thrombosis and the pain of burying a child is not something I would wish on anyone. I am so glad she got her heart transplant and hope she has MANY years of health and happiness.
I just donated a few dollars I had in my balance, hope it helps (came from Michael Lo***** since my husbands name is on the paypal account). I remember well dealing with the bills after my son died, they just kept coming and coming - enough to bind and make a book :(
I love this quilt, it looks warm and beautiful. It's great that Mia got her heart!
What a beautiful quilt!
Amazing story, that little girl is a true miracle! Thanks for the giveaway
wow, great giveaway

Beautiful quilt and baby!:)
The quilts were as beautiful as they were functional. Quilts have a history as a means to secretly communicate; there have been messages in the blocks or patterns of codes. The people of the underground railroad used quilts to signal each other.
Such amazaing artwork and craft work.
