One very special gift Brock received when he was born was given to him by our dear friend Donna. It is called a heritage quilt. You collect garments from baby's family members...mom, dad, grandparents, aunts and uncles. They can be anything...shirts, pants, dresses (we even added one of my own baby outfits and some hand embroidered dish towels from my mom and Mimi). Then you make a quilt out of all the pieces. You put a book together with the scraps of fabric and put all the family members' pictures next to their fabric so baby will know which pieces came from which person. A lot of times, they are made baby size, but Donna made ours extra special, and it is big enough for a full size bed so Brock can use it even when he grows up. We love our heritage quilt! It is on the guest bed in the nursery so we can look at it every day and remember how many people love this little boy!
Hollisters.......you are truly blessed!!!!!!
