Dear Quilting  Dee,

My daughter, Erin, received a quilt from you guys. She loves it. She sleeps with it every night. We went to a diabetes seminar at the hospital and someone told us about the quilts.  We can't thank you enough!

Sincerely,
Melanie, Grantsburg, IL

We received the quilt Friday and Saylor absolutely adores it.  It is beautiful and we all love it and really appreciate ALL that you do to make life a bit more comfortable for families and people with diabetes. You are a real inspiration!

I'd love to make a quilt at some point, too!

We wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving.

In health,

Laura, Chad and Saylor

Read Alyssa's story

Alyssa is 5 Years old and was diagnosed with Type 1 last month. It was a very hard and difficult experience. We are learning each and every day. She is a very determined, brave and strong willed child; she is dealing with the situation very well and has even started giving herself her own shots. I am very grateful for the people we have been able to talk with that has an understanding of what we have and are going through. I believe people go through things for a reason although I don't understand why. I believe God is here and will help us and the children with what they have to face.  

D.F., Alyssa's mom
