Mia's 83rd Quilt Square: Dayton, Ohio

This is from one of the volunteers at Erma's House, Leslie L. She made such a special square for Mia. It's embroidered and includes her name. She said she can also embroider Mia's birthdate on it after I get my referral. I think that I'll frame this instead of actually putting it on the quilt. It's too fragile to be washed. And too beautiful to not be displayed on a wall, probably in Mia's bedroom. Leslie's wish includes a poem: "Mia, you are a chosen child. You are your mommy's, but not by birth. She loves you and chose you because you're the greatest child on Earth. Mia, you are a chosen child sent down from God above. Chosen to fill your mommy's home with laughter and with love. Mia, you are a chosen child. You have given your mommy so much pleasure. Chosen above the rest, a precious priceless treasure." Her wish reads "My wish for you, Mia, is that you always celebrate how special you are as a chosen child."

Thanks Leslie!
