Hello Farmgirl Friends,
.
This is the time of year that most of my left over energy goes to our cut flower garden business and keeping up with all the other outdoor work that I enjoy so much. Usually my sewing and quilting gets put (somewhat) on the back burner.
.
But this summer I’ve jumped neck deep into a project that is very different, very emotional, and even hard to talk about but yet so fulfilling that I’m eager to share it. So I will go back about six months and share with you from there.

Emmaline will forever live in your heart. I have two little grandbabies who passed in the first trimester, and a sister who was stillborn in the fifth month of pregnancy. My son-in-law got my daughter a special ring to remember their babies. I had gotten some soapstone animals when my daughter and son–in-law got married, and then for each child they had. For the two little ones that passed, I got two smaller animals to them to remember. Emmaline had a short life, but she has made an impact on others. Hugs to you and your family.
Oh Gloria. I am so sorry for your loss. I wish we could hug! Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement to me. And I am so very thankful that these babies do live forever in our hearts.
Hugs,
Dori
Hello Blessed Dori,
What a beautiful gift to share. I am most grateful to read your story and deeply sorry for such pain and loss in your family. My first grandchild was still born at full term. I understand.
A friend and myself will definitely make precious blankets.
Thank you so much for sharing and God will richly bless your beautiful kind heart.
Dori, I am so sorry for your loss. The swaddling blankets are beautiful. I love the idea of honoring Emmaline! Thank you for sharing this with us. Sending prayers and hugs.
I am at a loss for words as my heart aches for your loss. Channeling your grief into such a loving and precious act of kindness is heaven sent. Thank you for telling us of this organization, which I notice is located on a very appropriately named street. Those fabrics are perfect for little angels. My heart, love, and prayers go out to you and your family.
Thank you for opening your heart to share this with all of us! I just moved from one state to another and couldn’t find a spoon let alone fabric but when I do I will come back to this email and make swaddled blankets too! Thank you, thank you 💕 Sending prayers for your healing as a family and individuals ❤️🩹
My heart goes out to you and your family. May God grant you comfort and strength! What a wonderful way to honor your precious little one.
Bless your heart Dori❤️ Thank you for sharing your story of your Beautiful Granddaughter Emmaline💖 I will keep You and your family in my heart and prayers🙏🏻
And your blankets are so beautiful and look so soft and I know what you do to help other parents will continue to heal your ❤️
My sincerest condolences on the loss of your grandaughter. Such a beautiful project to make swaddling blanket in name of Emmaline. My thoughts and prays are with you and your family.
Thank you for sharing your family’s story and how you are able to helping others families with the handmade swaddling blankets. I’m sure it provides comfort to them knowing you made the blankets
Dori, thank you for sharing this heartbreak. About 20 years ago I helped a very dear friend through labor and delivery of a still born baby boy. It to say the least was very emotional and I was able to be support and help her through this traumatic experience. You are a blessing for those who are going through this. What a beautiful way to honor Emmaline.
I can’t even imagine how hard this is for your family. Prayers for comfort and peace. I’m so sorry.
Saving the address as I will be unemployed soon and looking for something special to do with my time and all the flannel I have from working at Joann fabrics.
I too have known the loss of stillborn babies. My two oldest sons in 1990 and my third grand baby last year. For my children, I received a small blanket and gown for each that someone lovingly made. So please know that these gifts are very much appreciated. Thank you for making them. Sending prayers.
