From the heart
It was with great sadness in my heart that I began making these two little quilts. 
Two weeks ago tonight, my cousin and her husband were burdened with a terrible heartache that will stay with them forever. Jack and Samuel were born at just 19 weeks and 1 day and sadly passed into God's loving hands shortly after. Although perfect they were just too little to survive.
These two little boys were and still are so loved.
When I found out there were on their way I was already thinking about some quilts to go with their big sister, Alannah's 'Noah' quilt.
After hearing the news of their passing I decided that they still deserved to have some little quilts to honour their births. I had been saving this fabric for something special and I couldn't think of anything better to use it for. I decided on two different quilts because although there were twins they were also individuals. The heart blocks I though appropriate as they will always remain in our hearts forever. I was planning on making them a bit smaller but my head wasn't in the right place to be working out measurements and re-sizing the blocks. The block instructions were found here.
I'm going to see the family this weekend, most likely with tears, as I give them these quilts to remember their special sons and brothers.
RIP Jack and Samuel We love you!
