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.

#3 Madeline Kimmel


Created 2007

Madeline was the mother of my good friend, Barbara Lang. My husband and I always liked to visit her because no matter how she was feeling (at 90 years young), she would always make you smile. She loved to tell you about the good 'ol days in Orlando - a different place from today. Last year, December 6, 2007, when she passed away I wanted to do something more special than flowers for Barabra. I took pictures of all the flower arrangements at Madeline's funeral and got special pictures from Barbara of her and her mother to create a quilt.
