Ashley experienced the heartbreaking loss of losing her baby Bridget at just 24 weeks. A week before Bridget was born, Ashley's mom Grammy, wanted to knit Bridget a special, small blanket. After making a small mint green blanket, she began to think that it would be difficult to wrap such a small blanket around a tiny baby. It was at this moment that Grammy had a "God moment" and knew she was supposed to knit the sides together to create a cradle. Although Bridget never took a breath of her own on this earth, her life inspired a God-idea of cradles knitted in love. Bridget's Cradles have been donated to over 1,000 hospitals in all 50 states.
