Audrey’s Ballerina Quilt

“Dear Linda -
Our 4-year-old daughter Audrey had surgery (her 4th) on Friday.  Our whole family was extremely anxious about it because she has complicated airway issues, and we had to postpone the surgery several times due to illness.
Everything went well, thanks to the excellent care we receive from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.  But to add to our relief, we were so touched by the gorgeous ballerina quilt that our awesome anesthesiologist presented to us in recovery. 
I work for a non-profit, and am an advocate for many others, and I must say that I never envisioned us as the beneficiaries of a non-profit because we blessedly don’t have the financial need that so many other families do.
But as I studied the quilt and all the details that so lovingly went into making it, I realized that we really *were* in need of support.  We had just gone through a terrible ordeal (on top of the daily stresses we live with), and knowing that there were caring people like you out there was a wonderful comfort.  We are so appreciative of your kindness.
And how did you know that Audrey loves ballet and takes classes twice a week?  I read about Quilts for Kids on your website (what a good idea to include the site address on the label), and I am very impressed with your initiative, creativity and organization.  Congratulations, and thank you.
With love, The Patterson Family”
