has also hindered her development. She has difficulty maintaining friendships

"Thank You"
Dear Vickie and all stitchers of Taylor's quilt,
I can't thank you enough for this beautiful quilt! We watched the squares come in but we really didn't have any idea of what the quilt would look like when it was done. Taylor is so happy and excited to have the quilt on her bed. She has shown it off to everyone that comes over and we took it to her Grandma's so she could see it. Everyone loves it and loves the concept of why and how this quilt is made.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this. It has helped Taylor realize that there are lots of people out in the world that can love her for herself. And I told her when she feels down and that nobody loves her she need only look at her quilt and see proof of all the people that love her and send her love.
We have been redoing Taylor's room into a pre/teen room. This quilt is the finishing touch for her room. The colors go with her room so well. And it is something that she can use and keep forever.
Thank you again and bless all of you,
Debbie Johnson
