about the piece.
In Amber's words, "This is a square I painted for a quilt project.  A friend lost her child 8 or 9 years ago at 18 months by the child's grandfather accidently backing over her. She makes quilts for families who lost their children to similar accidents. This quilt was for Rachel's family.  Daisy is my daughter. I added the names of friends babies who have gone to heaven that I knew at the time. Many more could be added now."

Amber's second born daughter Daisy Arabella Cook was stillborn at 36 weeks and 3 days due to Trisomy 13 or 18. As Amber says,"I became drawn to all things daisy after her death." Daisy's birth date is Jan. 26th, 2009. Amber blogs at a Mother's Love.

about the piece.
In Amber's words, "This is another photo I took the day before Daisy's first birthday in heaven. She was born January 26, 2009, weighing only 3lb.s 9 oz. and was 16 in. long at 36 weeks 3 days gestation. She had Trisomy 13 or 18. Daisies represent purity and innocence. Everything she was and is to me. I see daisy things everywhere I go. I also have a three-year old daughter and her name is Lilly Anna. This photo is a little sad to me"

about the piece.

In Amber's words, "I took this photo of my own hand the day before her one year 'angelversary.' I had bought a boutique of fresh daisies and wanted to play around taking some memorable pictures. I believe this photo represents Love, Hope, and Peace after the storm."
