In Memory


Amy Smart made this quilt in honour of an Irish friend who


passed away due to complications from delivering her first baby. Living in Utah, U.S. Amy felt helpless for what was otherwise meant to be a joyous time.


In Scotland, the newborn baby boy thrived as Amy created and gifted


this quilt and to remind a son of his Irish mother’s love.
