Stitch by stitch Rayna Jo’s Great Grandma left her love for her.  This quilt is the little piece of herself that she left for her brand new great grand daughter.  I am so glad that Rayna Jo’s Mom brought it to her newborn photography session.  We were able to photograph a tender sweet baby with this parting gift.  As our loved ones pass away, we must remember that we are bond to each other.  Family binds make us who we are.  Our parents, grand parents and great great parents all lead us on the path to becoming the person that we will become.  A sweet aging woman laid down the stones for this little baby to tread.  And though these special people in our lives leave us, they are always a part of us.  I hope that as she grows, that Rayna Jo will always treasure this beautiful quilt and feel wrapped in the loving arms of her Great Grandma.
