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.

#24 Vivian Wilson

Vivian Wilson is a beautiful woman loved by her family. The love beams from the picture of her and her husband in their early days of dancing, a family portrait with her children and the recent pictures of family including grandchildren and great grandchildren. Vivian is a patient of Good Shepherd Home Health and Hospice in Hayesville, NC. Her daughter told me her favorite colors are blue and yellow and her favorite flowers are pansies. Bless you Vivian and your family.


The bird in the picture on the label was taken by Jessy Garrett Reems. Jessy went to be with the Lord on October 31, 2011. Her quilt was also blue and yellow (#17 2008).

NOTE: 12/25/2011 Note from family: Mother was thrilled! She kept saying "Oh! My...! oh! My!...it's beautiful! We were able to get her to church today in the wheel chair and she kept looking at the blanket and pictures all during service. You really made her Christmas special!!!!
