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.

#12 Mrs. Matus

The parents of the children in Mrs. Matus' kindergarten class love her! They appreciate the love and education she has given to introduce their children to school. To show their appreciation, the parents had a quilt made of pictures of their children throughout the past year. Lots of fun candid shots. The back of the quilt has flowers made from the children's handprints, thanks to Pam Mooney! The center is a beautiful poem. The class will be signing their names all over the back. Thanks Mrs. Matus and all the other teachers for loving and teaching our future generations!






May 26th note from Pam Mooney: I just received it. I am crying! It is so beautiful. I cannot thank you enough. It is absolutely perfect.

I must say the pictures absolutely do not do justice to this beautiful piece of art. I am really having a hard time convincing myself that I cannot keep it. My son said "it's beautiful, Mom!".

Thank you Pam. I love being have a part in showing a teacher she is appreciated!
