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.

#4 Muriel Tramontano

Rosemary lost her mother Muriel last fall about the same time I lost my mother so it was easy for me to understand her pain when she called to request a quilt. Her mother was under hospice care with Good Shepherd Home Health & Hospice in Hayesville, NC. While Good Shepherd's chaplin was talking with Rosemary one day, he suggested a quilt to help her through the grieving process.
Muriel loved all kinds of music. Ave Maria was one of her favorite songs.

Rosemary loves her quilt. She is going to have her husband hang it on their living room wall. She has asked for another quilt for her sister. Orders are always appreciated; they enable me to continue making quilts for hospice patients and/or their families.
3/5/10 Rosemary wrote: I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the work you put into my quilt. It will be the most treasued family heirloom we have.
