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.

#9 Ariel

Happy Birthday Ariel







Ariel's mother, Alex, asked for a quilt for her daughter's birthday. She wanted something special to show Ariel how much she has grown from a beautiful baby to an absolutely beautiful teenager. Her family is so proud of her. I appreciate the order for this quilt, it enables me to continue making quilts for those needing extra love to wrap around them during rough times.
Thank you Alex.
Monday, April 6th an email from Alex.......it was the most amazing thing I have seen when she opened it. Her eyes got filled with tears and she cried and hugged me, a hug like I have not got since she was a little girl. Thank you so much, she sleep wrap on her quilt and she loves it.
