Patch sewn on the back of Nathan's Quilt; Prayers and Squares Quilting Ministry
Soon after Nathan‘s birth, a former classmate of mine, Debbie Allison, learned of our concerns regarding his congenital heart defect. Debbie lives in California and was attending Hope United Methodist Church in Rancho Bernardo. The lovely ladies there had a “Prayers and Squares Quilting Ministry.” Whenever they learned of a child with health challenges, these ladies would spring into action by creating a colorful quilt.
Each quilt is dedicated to a specific child and decorated with several bright embroidery knots. According to the personalized patch on the back corner, “Each knot represents a prayer that was said for you.” To the ladies who sent this beautiful gift, I want to say thank you for pouring your love and faith into this project and for praying for a baby boy that you had never laid eyes on. Except for a tiny bit of gum on one corner, it’s still in great shape! I know Nathan will cherish it forever.
