Thoughtful Notes

January 2026

My mother passed away last summer.  She was at home in hospice, being cared for by Caris.  They gifted her a handmade quilt from the Village Quilters.   I can't tell you how touched we all were          by that act of kindness.  The quilt was beautiful, and such and uplifting gesture during a very sad time.   God bless you.

We were able to gift our first quilt today! It is unusual that we have not had a donor patient since we got the quilts so today was so special. We told the family that your guild made them and that they can keep it after the patient is gone. They were so touched and appreciative! They loved the quilt and it will most likely go to the patient’s autistic, 15 year old son. Thank you for helping make a difference! Please convey our thanks and appreciation to the guild!

Thank you,

Miss Sandy [Stechmesser], I want to thank you again.  It took all I could do to hold back the liquid emotions.  And yes, the quilt is on my bed.  

Thanks, Richard C.

My mom was hospitalized the Thursday before Christmas. In Christmas Eve, mom received a present from the Village Quilters. It was an incredible encouragement for mom. She had to spend Christmas in the hospital and she has been wrapped up in the quilt since the minute she opened it. Your thoughtfulness and generosity are greatly appreciated!

I just wanted to say God Bless all of you and thank you so much for all the time and materials and love you put in to these quilts. I recieved on while visiting Tennessee and receiving dialysis treatment and I absolutely love it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This quilt means more to me than I could ever say.
