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.

#23 John Hyden quilt

My friend Joyce knew the hardest days after her father's passing would be her father's birthday and her birthday. The pillows below (#22) were made for his birthday and this quilt was made for her recent birthday. Although nothing takes the void away, hopefully this quilt will bring her comfort. There is a picture of her father as a baby with his mother, pictures of their family growing up and recent ones of him in his final days. He loved his picture with the Playboy Bunny. The pictures are surrounded by cats because Joyce and her husband Steve love cats passionately.
