Diane deFreitas designed most of the quilts in this book and this one is especially meaningful to her. Her daughter, Andrea, is part of her school's play, so Diane chose school colors of the black and gold for her quilt. Imagine the fun of having it signed with autographs and messages by fellow thespians, and the delight of remembering a special time for years to come.

This quilt celebrates the life a very special young man. Benjamin Mollett, 6 years old, was diagnosed with cancer on Christmas Eve, 1998, and passes away the day before Thanksgiving, 1999. The bottles hold messages from doctors, nurses, family members, and friends and his short life is recorded there. The legacy of his smile is captured in the quilt and continues through the Benjamin Smiles program which was founded by his mother, Vicki Mollett. The program provides cheer and comfort to young cancer patients and their families by gifting them with small, brightly-colored pillows. If you wish to help by making and donating a few easy pillowcases, Vicki would love to hear from you at vickimollett@netscape.net
