We know all children are special. Love Quilts makes at least 20 quilts for the children each year. I first sent a card to Joanna through Make A Child Smile and received the sweetest thank you note from her and her mom (thanks Lorie). I connected with her sweet face and a teddy was in the works. Here it is, just washed within the hour.

Dianne, you stitched this teddy? I wasn’t sure I understood correctly. This is THE cutest pattern I’ve seen in a very long time. What a beautiful gift for a child. It makes you want to pick it up and hug it!!!
Dianne, your quilt squares are always such a work of art. This one is going to make a child very, very happy!!
Each one gets more beautiful than the last — stunning.
Dianne, It is absouletly adorable. My eyes tear up everytime I think about you sitting there stitching for my Joanna. I feel honored to have meet you through Make A Child Smile. Love Quilts is a great way to show your love for children. These quilts are just amazing. Something these children will hopefully cherish forever! I will cherish your caring thoughts forever in my heart!
