Remember When. . . 4 eggs were in the nest?

  Recently one of my "kids" posted her birth story in her blog.  I was moved when she wrote that she had a miscarriage prior to this pregnancy and had reason to be concerned about the health of this pregnancy. Thank heaven that he was born healthy. She explained, "'A rainbow baby' is a baby that follows a tragic loss, like a stillbirth, or miscarriage." When naming this miracle 4th child, the family looked for a name that reflected the hope this birth gave. They had considered the name Robin in her earlier pregnancies and some fun coincidences confirmed this as a good choice;  her midwife's last name was Robinson, and the robin's nest outside their kitchen window had 4 eggs. She wrote, "I realized once Robin arrived how much it felt like the first sign of spring after a long winter of uncertainty. "

The next morning, I made this quilt top for Robin to welcome him. 

I love to tell stories through fabric. I would be happy to chat about a story you would like to convert to an heirloom.
