For those of you who are recent followers, here is the back story on my memory/memorial sampler. Back in mid September I found out that I was pregnant with our first child. To our dismay, we found out during week 7 of the pregnancy that I had a blighted ovum. The following week I went in for a D&C. In the meantime, I knew that I had to do something to deal with my grief. My way of dealing with things was to stitch. So, I dug into my stash for the perfect piece to remember my little angel and this is what I came up with........

Happy Stitching!

Beautiful.
I am sure there are hurting people all around who will be inspired by your story, Jennifer. Hurting for different reasons but needing some way to fill their healing time. You've shown them how with beautiful stitching, the sentiment, the perfect frame and framing. thanks for sharing your story.

It's beautiful. *hugs*
What a truly beautiful way to acknowledge what was. There was hope and dreams and potential in your 'pregnancy' and this is a beautiful tribute to that part of your life. Such an inspired way to express your feelings.
Jennifer, What a sweet memorial and I love the changes you made. Good luck in your trying and my prayers are with you.
It is very beautifull and good way to process your grief! I remember when we tryed and tryed our first baby and were so happy when she finally decided to come :)Best wishes to you!
This is so beautiful, Jennifer. I think of you often. Best of luck as you try again. I know how scary it is. xo
Your memorypiece is lovely. So sorry about you lost. Wish you good luck for the next time.
What a lovely memorial piece, Jennifer. I found your earlier post about losing the baby to be so moving. It moved me to tears. Having been through a miscarriage over 23 years ago, I know how difficult it is and even after all these years, I still remember that time like it was yesterday. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers...
I love this. For some reason, I think I thought of this when you said you were working on a piece dedicated to what your family went through this fall. (I think it might be b/c I had recently seen this design for the first time.) AT ANY RATE. It looks beautiful, I love the personalization, and it is so appropriate! Love the frame DH picked, too!
P.S. sorry so late in commenting, I am truly behind!
