#3 Juanita Clark

This quilt was created for Juanita while she was a patient with Good Shepherd Home Health & Hospice in NC. Her sweet husband selected the pictures and gave ideas for the colors. The pictures show the love shared with her family and her love for her dogs. Unfortunately the night the quilt was being completed Juanita passed away. Hopefully the quilt will bring comfort to the family in the rough days ahead.

#1 Jerry Kasper

Jerry was a firefighter with the City of Orlando for over 20 years. He passed away at the age of 46 last night, January 31, 2010. On October 11, 2009 he was diagnosed with Thymic Carsinoma, a very rare and aggressive form of cancer. At the time the doctors thought he would have 3-5 years but after the cancer spread to his liver during chemo, his time was shortened. He lived the last few months of his life surrounded with the love of his family and friends. This quilt was made in his favorite color with a simple design to show off his family.
Jerry passed peacefully on the evening of January 31, 2010 with his family at his side. The family loved their quilt.

#2 Miracle Monday

Miracle Monday is a group founded by Debbie Bristol Puckett one year ago. Miracle Monday is "A Day of Hope for a Cure of Cancer." The members featured on the quilt are cancer survivors that meet the 1st Monday of every month to support each other. This quilt will be used as a banner when they walk in the Relay for Life.

#39 Granny Boyd

The life of Granny Boyd. This is a quilt of love....her family. It starts at the top left corner when she was 15 years old and captures her life until the recent picture in the bottom left corner. The bottom right is her family a year ago. There are collages of many pictures of her husband (PaPa), 3 children, 7 grandchildren, 3 greatgrandchildren and their families.
Christmas 2009 Granny's comment: this is the greatest gift I have ever received.

#38 James Comfort

The photos for this quilt were so thoughtfully selected my James' daughter. Her father is currently under Hospice care and she wanted this quilt to reflect the wonderful man he has always been to their family.

#36 Jill York

This is an extra large quilted pillow sham. It was made from tshirts Jill's mom found after she had me make a tshirt quilt (#26) for Jill. Minnie Mouse is the inside flap (her little sweatshirt) of her "envelope" style sham. It will be great for either stuffing with a pillow or blanket or momentos. Jill's mom got excited this summer about having special gifts made for her daughter. It was fun making her Christmas more meaningful.
