You are still in the Quilting-Dee website, however, you are able to make a donation directly to  IPump.org, Inc.'s program QD Quilts for Children Newly Diagnosed with Diabetes through our site.  We do NOT receive any compensation or portion of your donations for IOH or the Quilting Dee.  Quilts and materials that are donated are sewn into quilts by volunteers of all sewing skill levels.  The quilts are given away free to children with diabetes.  IPump.org, Inc. is a nonprofit, California Public Benefits Corporation.   If you would like to contribute to IPump.org, Inc. through their own website, go there now. 

Love to quilt?  Love kids with diabetes?  We love volunteers!

If you are a quilt shop owner, a school, church, or other group who would like to make a quilt for a child with diabetes, please contact program director for special information about how to get started.

An important message
from Islets of Hope

We are not professional fundraisers and receive no money, services, or special considerations for raising money for diabetes causes, nor have we been asked by other organizations to raise funds on their behalf.  We just do it.  Why?  We love quilting.  We love kids.  And we HATE diabetes.  

As a business owner with diabetes, and the parent of a child with diabetes, Islets of Hope's founder Lahle Wolfe believes she has a personal responsibility to give some- thing back to the diabetes community. The Quilting Dee is just one of the many ways in which Islets of Hope is making a difference in the lives of others living with diabetes.

IPump.org,Inc., a nonproft,California Public Benefits Corporation, accepts donated fabric, quilt tops,blocks, finished quilts. and sewing supplies. But even with donated materials, we still have to purchase batting,shipping materials, and pay for the cost of shipping. We also send free diabetes information along with our quilts and need help covering the costs of printing and the cost of maintaining this website.

Can't contribute?  No problem, volunteer to Sew!

We are an all volunteer organization.   Sometimes, our web magic doesn't happen overnight.  We appreciate your patience and understanding while this page is still under construction.  

We NEED VOLUNTEER SEAMSTRESSES!

... so until we do get this web page finished please e-mail Lahle@ipump.org if you are interested in sewing.  Lahle Wolfe sews 90% of all the quilts for the children who benefit from IPump.org, Inc.'s program -- and is wearing out her two sewing machines (plus never sleeps).  

If you have time to sew a quilt or even quilt tops for us, please do so. We can send you materials to make small, simple quilt tops.  Sewers of ALL skills levels are welcomed.  Many of our quilt tops are very, very simple and can be done in a few hour's time.

If you like to sew, our program for children is a good reason to make something special!
