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.

#17 Jessy Garrett

Created 2008

Jessy writes a weekly column for the Clay County Progress about her life with cancer. http://www.canswercolumn.blogspot.com. After reading her column each week, I contacted her about making her a quilt and I knew right away I was glad I did. What a delightful young person! My goal was to have it to her by Christmas and was thrilled when I had it ready to deliver the week before. It was a bittersweet moment when I called to tell her it was ready. She said the timing was perfect because she had just been told her cancer was back. I was so glad to give her a happy moment at such a sad time for her and her family. Jessy loves her quilt and looks forward to it keeping her warm during her chemo treatments.
