| Comments: | When I fought breast cancer in 2009 a neighbour wanted to request a quilt for me but I passed on the offer because my mother and another neighbour both made me quilts. Now in 2012, a family friend is about to start her own battle with cancer. Not having any quilting experience, yet knowing how comforting they are...I requested a Victoria's Quilt...it arrived today delivered by one of your angels...It's absolutely perfect, the colors, fabric print, it's the exact quilt I would have chosen for her. It's absolutely beautiful (thank you ladies of Russell Ont)...it brought tears to my eyes. |

| Comments: | I received a gift quilt this week and words cannot express how much this quilt means to me. I am battling stage 4 colon cancer and have chemotherapy every two weeks for the next six months. To have this warm beautiful quilt made from the love of so many is such a comfort and an inspiration. I know God and all the people that contributed to this gift are at my side through this fight. There truly are so many good people in this world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. |

| Comments: | Each week a lovely group of Ottawa women met in my meeting room and made quilts as I sat and did paperwork. Coming from a family of sewers I could appreciate the work that was being done from a technical point of view. But really what was amazing was the amount of love that went into each quilt, each piece of art that was created. I was stunned at how efficient and at how many were made. Many of these women took them home and completed them on their own time so that the demands for the quilts could be made. Every Wednesday they would show one another with pride the work that was finished. Each person helped with each quilt. I was presented with one of their quilts after I started my own treatments. That quilt and I have been through a lot and I have never forgotten where it came from. If you have been lucky enough to receive one of these special gifts at such a difficult time in your life please remember that an entire group of people were thinking about you and it is a true gift of love. |

| Comments: | Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right page or not....I just wanted to say "thank you" for the beautiful quilt that was delivered to me this morning...it will come in very handy tomorrow (Wed, Jan 18th) when I go to the hospital for my 4th treatment. I am touched, to say the least, as knowing my family/friends love and care mean a great deal, but knowing that perfect strangers feel the same way and go to this much bother mean just as much, if not more. May God bless & keep you all...thank you again. |

| Comments: | I'm not sure if I'm sending this to the right place but I received a quilt from Victoria's Quilts Canada. My friend had sent in my name and I received this beautiful quilt just a few days later. I haven't started my treatments yet but am waiting on tender hooks till I do. This has been the most stressful time of my life and it's so nice to know people who don't even know me are willing to go out of their way to help me feel better. The quilt is quite beautiful and I'll be thinking about all you hard working women when I'm feeling blue and wrapped up in my quilt and know you are thinking of me too. Wish me luck as I go into probably the hardest fight of my life. S. Coulombe |

| Comments: | God bless you all. I received one of these quilts in December of this year. My name was sent in by 2 cousins one of whom had also received one. I in turn requested one sent to my two neighbours, an aunt and a cousin. All of us were thoroughly pleased and blessed to be receiving. Hopefully very early in the new year I will be volunteering my skills/services to this great adventure. I have also passed on information to friends and family as none of us had ever heard of Victoria's quilts. Again, thank you and my the good Lord keep blessing you with talents and love. |

| Comments: | I have recently recommended this site to a friend and I saw your guestbook and wanted to make sure that I got my thank you in to the Cornwall chapter...but thank you seems like such a small word for such an incredible gift that you give. I am a breast cancer survivor. I was diagnosed at 38 and while being a grown woman, it was hard to go through it without my mom as she has been gone for 15 years. When I received my blanket thanks to Ginette Laplante, everytime I snuggled with it I felt all those mom vibes that went into making it and I still use it as "my" blankie lol I can feel the love. May god bless each and every one of you. One day when my life isn`t so crazy I will be sure to offer a hand to this wonderful organization. Thank you, thank you, a million times thank you for the strength and love that you put in to each blanket. |

It is made with cotton swatches and a cozy flannel backing. When Nancy delivered it she reminded me that it was "built to be used" and "not to just throw it over a chair". Believe me when I say I have full intention of putting that quilt to good use! Thank you for thinking of us all who are on a path that no body deserves to be on. But being put on that path and knowing that a complete stranger made me something with love really lifted my spirit. THANK YOU ":) Lydia |

I just want to thank you so much for the quilt, it was such a joy to receive and every night I curl up in it.

THis is such a wonderful and amazing ministrey and I thank all the amazing volunteers for their time and effort because it does make a difference. Knowing that there was complete strangers who were thinking of me through this most difficult part of the lords journey for me made me gather even more strength to fight the diseace. I am now cancer free and thank the lord for every day that he has given me. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Philippians 4:13 |

| Comments: | Your quilts bring hope and enjoyment to those battling cancer. I too am a survivor of sorts. Had breast cancer in 2002 and then it returned in 2007 but matasticised in my bone marrow. With the medication I am on, I am in remission and feeling fine.
I thank you and all the others making the quilts for victims of cancer. You are truly the helpers who make a difference. |

| Comments: | To date I have requested 3 quilts for friends afflicted with cancer and you have come through for all three. While I have lost one of these friends recently, I spoke to another yesterday who is going through another round of chemo type therapy and she constantly thanks me for the quilt which she uses all the time. I am amazed at the comfort, both mentally and physically the quilts provide. Thank you for making the lives of three great people more comfortable during trying times. |

| Comments: | God's Blessings to you all. I am a cancer patient from Akron, Ohio. I have stage 4 breast cancer, 2nd time around in 17 years. What you are doing is such a wonderful thing to do. This time when I started treatment againt, now for life, whatever that means, I was given a small quilt made by a group of people that do the same for cancer patients in Columbus, Ohio at the womens breast cancer center. I was so touched to receive something that is so beautiful and made by someone or ones that felt the need to bless us in our time of need. It touched me deeply. Please continue on in blessings other in this fashion. It matters not which country or what color the skin, we are all His people and really do need that kind of support in our hour of need. God Bless you all. |

| Comments: | Thank you for doing what you do each and every day. My resolution from almost 10 years ago was to do something for someone everyday of my life. I still can say it is the only resolution that I have never broke no do I intend to do so. My friends ordered me a quilt some time ago because I have pancreatic cancer. Almost every day they ask if I have received the quilt and I have to tell them that I have not. Can you possibly give me an estimated date of arrival? I do know that you are so very busy so if you can give me an approximate time that would be wonderful.
thanks again for all you do Marg Alexander |

| Name: | Patricia Durelle |
| Comments: | I am a recipient of one of your quilts and I appreciate the kind & loving effort it took to make it & have it sent to me. I have since let others know & have made requests also. I saddens me that there are so many requests to be made, but the even the smallest of gestures reminds us that we are not alone & there is much generousity left in this world. It gave me warmth & comfort when no one was here, as I had just lost my husband 18 months before. They say God doesn't give you more than what He thinks you can handle, I don't know, but if He is woven into each stitch by these lovely ladies who quilt in Victoria's and His name, then, maybe it's true. It gives you strength in the strangest ways, wrapped up in the colorful fabrics that play out each of our lives. God bless you all. |

| Comments: | I received my Victoria's Quilt right after my double mastectomy just before Christmas. It was a great comfort to me during my afternoon naps and continues to be my blankie . Since receiving my quilt I have sent one to my cousin who had her lumpectomy a week after my surgery and I have just asked for one for my aunt who was diagnosed with invasive ductal cancer yesterday. Thank you to all the volunteers who devote their time to make these exquisite quilts with such compassion and love. Also a big thanks to the wonderful, warm volunteers who deliver these quilts. Your organization is doing something very special. God bless you all. |

| Name: | Sue Dumontel |
| Comments: | I received my special quilt just about a year ago today, after my mastectomy and before the chemo. Needless to say I was so very touched. I quilt a lot, but to know that someone cared enough to request the quilt was extra special.
I packed my quilt with me each time and delightedly told everyone I could about your organization. I saw quite a few other Victoria's quilts when having my treatments. The quilt hugged me each afternoon for my nap and many times I drifted off to sleep with one hand grasping the label that meant so much. Another precious bit in the journey to recovery along with friends. Just after I received my quilt, the only branch in Saskatchewan started just 30 miles down the highway from me and so I was able to show off mine. Now every so often I make one to pay it forward as I am still so grateful for mine. It still gets used So thanks, so very much for the love that was sent to me that day. Sue Dumontel |

| Comments: | I received my quilt yesterday after returning from my first chemo treatment! It is absolutely beautiful and you are doing wonderful work for a cause that touches everyone in one way or another. I will be bringing my quilt to the remainder of my chemo treatments at the Ottawa General Hospital and will think of all the women at Victoria's Quilts. I will also let the nurses know where the quilt came from so they can pass the information on if they are not already aware of Victoria's Quilts Canada.
Thank you so much, I love quilts and will treasure this forever. Sharon |

| Comments: | I just wanted to say 'Thanks'.
I'm 26 and in the past month I have been diagnosed with breast cancer, had a mastectomy, and found out yesterday that I need a 2nd surgery to have my remaining lymph nodes removed. It is groups/organizations like yours that make dealing with breast cancer at 26 a little bit easier. Thank you for all that you do. I know that I'm not alone in fighting cancer when I receive gifts like this. A genuine 'Thank You' from me and my family, Katie |

| Comments: | I am a Breast Cancer Survivor for 6 years now. I know that a lot of the people in the Victoria Quilt Group to which I belong are also survivors.
When I retired and was asked by a former co-worker to help with this incredible experience, I told her that I couldn't sew and that because the group meets at a Church, I wasn't going to even try because there would be too many frustrating words coming from me. However, I did know enough about sewing that I told her I could iron. So I have been pressing the blocks for this group for over 4 years. This is my contribution. However, one of the girls who helps lead the group when my friend is away, sent me a video of a Blind Quilter from Texas. Now I became inspired. I thought of her and her beautiful message. I know that my Great Grandmother who was blind as well, used to embroider. It would be much like reading brail I concluded. With these inspirational women, I decided to take a kit home and have finished my first quilt. I feel such accomplishment. This wonderful group of men and women who sew in Lakefield at the United Church has all become such wonderfull friends. We all enjoy our time together. We know have 2 social events each year, a pot-luck lunch at the farm of the lady who sent me a video and a Christmas Luncheon at my home. I make the lunch and charge everyone $10.00 which is then donated to Victoria Quilts on behaf of our Group. I am not sure that I want to give up my pressing job which also includes making coffee and tea. I do know that this will not be the last quilt I make. Thank you all for taking the time to do this work! Diann |
