This is my story........

Wrapped in Love Quilts are memory quilts for all occasions with Hospice patients having priority. Wrapped in Love Quilts was created after I learned a friend of mine had terminal cancer. I knew how much she loved her family, especially her grandchildren. I didn't know what to say to her when I received the news of her cancer so I came up with a way for her to wrap the love of her family around her. I created a photo quilt of all her loved ones along with her grandchildren's handprints on the back. She called it her faithful companion. Sue Liston passed away on October 31, 2007. During the year 2008 I created many quilts for hospice patients and persons that needed a little extra love wrapped around them. As you view the quilts and read the stories about them, starting with Sue's(2008-#1), you will see what a rewarding journey I have been on. The quilts are a beautiful way to express love when words seem inadequate. Needless to say, I feel very blessed to be able to help others.

#5 Janet Dilts


Created 2008

Janet Dilts is my Mom. Like so many people, my Mom needed to start giving away some of her pictures when she decided to downsize. Before distributing all her pictures I found a way to put together the most important people in her life. An example is the first row of squares. They are collages of (1) her children, (2) her grandchildren and (3) her greatgrandchildren.

She loved it! Like many people respond when receiving their quilts, she said "you've captured my life." That seems to be very important to people.
