Believe In Happiness All Around You

My mother, Gale Court, has been making quilts for 17 years. To date she has made over 500. She has never sold a quilt, they have always been made as gifts for loved ones. She made a series of motivational quilts for each child and grandchild. Each message on each quilt was different and was meant specifically for the recipient.

When she gave me my quilt, titled "Believe in Happiness All Around You", it absolutely made me cry. The message was so beautiful and so perfect for ME and my life. It reads "Dearest Kathryn, I wish for you love, faith, hope, joy, family, friends, courgage, strength, patience, compassion, health, peace, dreams to dream, songs to sing, and happiness all around you. Love always, Mommy".

She received so many requests for patterns that we have now created a business called "The Pattern Lady" and she sells her patterns online at www.thepatternlady.com. Seven of the "Words of Love and Wisdom" series patterns are available to buy there, and they even come with instructions to customize the message for your special someone.
