I make Hug quilts for Kool Kids, the name we call those with Koolen DeVries syndrome like our Ben had. So I choose kids who are going through something else in addition to KdVS. So JT is a 30 year old young man with a developmental age of about 6 who also has Brittle bone disease. He says the only thing that gives him comfort is singing Gospel Songs. He also loves Tigers. So I made him a Tiger/Gospel songs quilt. I bought some designs and digitized lots from images on Google images. I use Embrilliance and I learned a whole lot from doing this. I had help from the kitties in laying it out. You can see their signature on it with kitty fur, which I cleaned off before mailing it. His mom gave me permission to share his photo with the quilt.

What a beautiful quilt you have created... I am sure it will be well loved.

What a Treasure!! Well done!!

Stunning!! Great Quilt and a treasure to have!!!

The smile says it all. Thank you for sharing and may God Bless you as well as the young man as he treasure your beautiful caring gift.

He'll treasure your gift forever. You did a fantastic job! And his smile says it all!!

Oh, you have made this young man very happy! I love how you took the time to incorporate things that are important to him in your quilt. Awesome work!!! Hugs to you!

How I wished I could see the photos again. Is anyone else having issues again? Under your writing it just says: 3 images: then numbered 1,2,3. I see only a small thumbnail to the side. I know this looks fantastic and bless you for doing this gift. I love looking at pictures of everyone's beautiful things. Right now though I am back to not being able to view any.

Jan this is wonderful! The quilt came out amazing! I recognize all the hymns too. The tigers are g-g-great, as Tony the Tiger would say-lol

Hi Jan, bless you for doing this for this young man. I love the look on his face and you've done a wonderful job with all the designs. Your tiger print borders brings it all together so beautifully. Love Chris

Leo is the Cream colored Ragdoll called a Flame. Rocky is a Mitted rag doll with a teardrop blaze and a kiss! Vicky would have loved these pictures. Miss her so much!
