Stitch It & Gift It Blog Hop



Today is my day to share with you the project I made for the Stitch It & Gift It Blog Hop hosted by Carla at Creatin' in the Sticks.  I don't know how she does it, but Carla thinks up some of the most fun themes for our hops.  Thank you, Carla, for hosting yet another spectacular hop!

My Stitch It & Gift It project is a princess quilt for a special little girl.  She is my neighbor's daughter's niece.  Her name is Lynnlee Rose.  Her birthday was Sunday, November 10th, and she turned 6 years old.

Lynnlee was born with microencephaly, hydraenecephaly, and lissencephaly with agenesis of the corpus callosum.  Her cerebrum is smooth without the normal convolutions of the brain, and the brain's cerebral hemispheres are absent to a great degree.  The left side of her brain is unable to communicate with the right side.  Because of her disorder, some of the conditions she suffers from include seizures, lack of growth, breathing and digestion problems, vision problems, and intellectual disability. 


Despite all this, Lynnlee is a happy, sweet child, and she loves the Disney princesses.  She is unable to move much on her own, so she is exercised daily.  Now she can exercise on her own princess quilt.

This was a simple quilt to make and, because the princess are not filled in, it went together fairly quickly.  The princesses are from a pattern pack I bought on Etsy (LynniePinnie Embroidery).





I did some quilting in the ditch around the squares and bound it with the same fabric as the alternating squares.  The overall size is approximately 42" x 62".

I love making quilts and if my ability to piece together a quilt can bring someone joy, I'm good with that.  We should always do what we can to brighten someone's day.

  14. You are so kind and generous to do this for someone you don't even know. At the hospital where I went to nursing school there was a baby born with microcephaly. I hated how this poor baby was treated. He was put in an isolated room, only the head nurse could care for him. He was to be left alone to die. Everytime he cried I wanted to cry right there in the nursery. We all had to pretend like nothing special was going on in the little isolation room. That was in PA in the early 70's yet my 1st room mate had a 10yr old sister who sounds like your girl and the family fought to keep her with them. The doctor wanted her in a state facility. You are bringing up some deep painful nursing memories. May God grant this family peace in all they do to help their little girl. This quilt I'm sure meant more to the family that someone cared enough to make this just for their daughter. 😺
