My family is now enjoying one of your quilts that was gifted to my Poppy during his cancer journey. Thank you so much to your volunteers for their selfless gift. This quilt was close to him for so long, and it means so much to have it in my home now.

Thankyou ever so much for my beautiful and cozy quilt — in my absolute favourite colours! My stepmom ordered in from New Brunswick. I live on Vancouver island. It came in record time! I have shared your website and vision with everyone! Suggested you are an excellent organization to donate to. Thankyou again.

Thank you so much for your time and generosity with this wonderful huge project. I requested a quilt last week for an incredible 35 year old son of a lifetime friend who is battling brain cancer. He just sent the loveliest thank you note saying how much he appreciates this quilt. He said he will enjoy its warmth as he sits in his lazy boy chair. He says he will be wrapped in it all winter knowing it was made by wonderful caring people. Thank you, so much.

I was completely touched and grateful to be selected to receive a quilt from Victoria Quilts Canada. It truly is a gift of love and warmth. I felt comforted when it was delivered to my door as I fight this uphill battle with esophageal cancer. Thank you again for the quilt, and thank you for lifting up so many others and making them feel love and warmth. You are all so very kind.

I ordered a quilt for a friend of mine and it was delivered in 4 days!! I cannot imagine how very quickly this happened. It speaks volumes to me that this busy group would be so very attentive to the needs of others. These are beautiful quilts – my husband received one in 2017 and it too is beautiful! They provide not only warmth to the body, but also to the heart to know people care. A true generous gift of love and care to many. Thank you to all the quilters who give generously of their time and resources to provide these quilts to patients all across our country!

I have been unable to cry as I navigate my breast cancer journey. I received my quilt today and I am crying as I wrap myself up in it. It is so pretty and I feel the love with which it is made and given. Thank you so much!

Dear Hamilton/Niagara Branch, My sincere appreciation for the most gorgeous gift, delivered to me one week ago. I was most touched to be considered by Kathleen and friends from ASAC to receive this wonderful gift! I know it will keep me warm, physically and spiritually as I begin the journey of surgery and subsequent recovery. With immense appreciation for your kindness, generosity and thoughtfulness, I wish you continued success and joy by your dedication to bring warmth and comfort to others.

A heartfelt thankyou for the recent quilt I received. The moment I read the label on the box I teared up and thought my oh my someone is thinking of me on this journey! The quilt is so fitting, it is like a warm hug of love and concern. A big thankyou to those who labor in making all of these beautiful quilts. They are amazing to receive and such a lovely gesture to those who are going through this journey. Thankyou thankyou!

I was so surprised to receive my quilt back in Nov. 2020. It was beautiful and stays in my heart. As of today I have requested 3; 2 for friends in Calgary, and one for my stepfather. They love them. It so wonderful to see their happy faces. I thank this wonderful community for the heartfelt care and quality of the beautiful quilts.

I’m working on kicking pancreatic cancer to the curb. I received one of your awesome quilts. I use it everyday when resting and every night when sleeping. I’ll also be taking it to Chemo with me as it also comforts me. Thank you so much Ottawa Branch who made it for me and my friend for requesting it. Thank you doesn’t say enough!
