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.

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

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.
