Darcey's quilt    (Quilt Completed)

Thank you

I have received the quilt is beautiful, thank you so much LoveQuilts for making this happen, and thank you so much to all the beautiful kind amazing people for your hard work. Darcey loves it, won't go to bed without it, and in her own words when she opened it was 'Wow mummy wow it's beautiful' gave the quilt a big hug then laid down on it for around 30 mins.

Darcey currently has been so unwell and had such a scare of losing her a couple of weeks ago, that's the happiest she's been since recovering and really made such a difference and impact on her, and given her a push getting her back to her happy self. I can not express how grateful I am for the hard work that went into her quilt you guys are truly amazing for given children that moment of joy and happiness.
