I just called my sister to tell her to expect a quilt from you in the next little while. I sent the request on Saturday. She has received it already!!
She loves it, colour, and the thought behind it. Like me, she can’t believe how generous people can be.
Thank you to all the volunteers who make this possible. I have sent a donation and hope this will help in your efforts to bring comfort to others in their dark time.
Sending a big heartfelt THANK YOU for sending the request for comfort to a dear friend … so quickly!!! My friend just shared a picture of the beautiful quilt they received (I don’t have their permission to share their photo) but please take it from me the picture of the quilt is beautiful and the tears they shared of how much they appreciate the love and comfort they feel from it … is beyond priceless. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. As a recipient of a Victoria’s quilt myself … I continue to feel comfort from the quilt I received years ago. Sending so much gratitude, Pauline xxx
Thank you very much for my Dads quilt. It is beautiful. Thank you for contacting me and arranging drop off. You are friendly and im forever grateful for what you do. Hugs!
My quilt arrived before my first round of chemo and it came with me to each of my six rounds. It provided much comfort and warmth during the approximate six hours of each treatment. A huge thank you to your organization and to my good friend who sent the request.
I received my quilt today. I am touched beyond words. As I look at each square I think of all of the hands who contributed and worked on this. I spend most of my time alone, this quilt brought me such comfort to think about the caring hands it represents. I am so grateful. Thank you, I will cherish it always!
I am a 20yr survivor and a grateful respient of your beautiful quilts. Mine will be 20yrs old this summer. Like me it’s been through a lot. It now sits on my bed. 🥰
I received an absolutely beautiful quilt a few weeks ago from your organization. Thoughtfully, in my favourite purples. It’s lovely, so well made, and I am amazed at all the wonderful volunteers who run this program. Funny enough, the person who had it lived just a few blocks away, so she just dropped it by my house. Thank you for that!! I had my first chemo treatment today and it was perfect to keep me warm and cozy through the whole procedure. Even one of the nurses commented on how beautiful it is. I am so grateful for this. It makes me smile every time I look at it. Thank you to all who are involved!
To everyone at Victoria’s Quilts in Edmonton,
Thank you so much for the beautiful quilt you so generously gifted to me. It is a truly meaningful gift, given from the heart.
My cancer journey began with prostate cancer in 2011, followed by surgery in 2012. I was fortunate to remain cancer-free for many years until 2024, when I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. As of May 2026, I now have muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), so things are more serious. Since then, I have faced treatments, procedures, and all the challenges that come with battling cancer.
Receiving your quilt meant far more than simply receiving a blanket. It brought warmth, comfort, and a reminder that there are caring people thinking of those of us walking this difficult path.
I especially want to acknowledge all of the volunteers who give their time, talent, and compassion to create these quilts. Every stitch reflects kindness, generosity, and hope. Your thoughtful work is a reflection of the care in your hearts, and it makes a real difference to people like me who are facing cancer.
Thank you for the care and encouragement you share with cancer patients and their families every day. Your gift will be treasured and appreciated for years to come.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Terry Bailey
You will never know how much this gifted quilt touched me. I had tears of heartfelt gratitude and tears of sadness. I have just started my cancer journey and the quilt arrived the day I had surgery. Thank you to Kimberly for submitting my name and to Donna for delivering the beautiful quilt.
To all the skilled hands at Victoria’s Quilts Canada, thank you for the love and prayers you all put into the quilts.

Cancer is affecting so many people in our area and the quilts that we have ordered for friends and neighbors have been so well received. They are beautifully made and the lift that they have provided for cancer patients is beyond words. The cancer journey is life altering. Neither patient nor caregiver are ever the same, regardless of outcome. These quilts provide a constant reminder for patients that they are loved. So grateful for this service.
