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.

#22 James Smart

It was an honor to make this quilt for James Smart. I think he was everyone's favorite at the building store in Hayesville, NC. He was a patient with Good Shepherd Home Health & Hospice. When you see this quilt you cannot help but feel the love he had for his family. His grandson defintely had a special place in his heart. His family and all his friends will truly miss him.

#21 John Farrell


John and Sally Farrell live on a beautiful mountain top in Hayesville, NC. John was a patient with Good Shepherd Home Health & Hospice. Sally picked pictures of their wonderful life together. His early Navy picture was from when he was 17 years old. John loved horses. Sally requested a "hodge podge" design which will be used next year also. These pieces are from the many quilts from the last 3 years.

#20 Ava Sentell




Ava Sentell was only 4 years old when she received her wings to heaven. Her short life touched so many people. She was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer on July 31, 2010 and passed away late October. Her story reached people across the USA. On her 5th birthday, November 10, 2010, people released pink balloons for her. Wish there was room for all the balloon pictures, they were from friends of all ages. My heart goes out to her parents Casey & Christina and her brother Dylan.
