Welcome to the Healing Quilts in Medicine Website. This site
was a resource for participating quilt artists to review meeting dates, Chemo
Source lists, and quilt guidelines for the latest project. Candid
pictures of quilts in progress and
the artists are found on the pictures page. The Quilt Gallery contains the final images and artist statements for the completed quilts.
A dear friend of mine who lost her battle
with Ovarian Cancer said, "Cancer equals WAITING". You are either waiting
for doctors appointments, tests, results of those tests, treatments, and
results of treatments. This is stressful time for the patient, their family
members and friends. I would therefore like to provide them with
something pleasant to look at and reflect on during those often-difficult
moments.

Judy's passing.
Judy's vision for the oncology patients of
Walter Reed has been realized.
On January 12, 2006, the quilts were
officially dedicated by senior officers of the medical center. Many
quilters and Walter Reed staff attended the lovely ceremony.
