A stitch in time
CMAJ 2000;163(2):198
In Nova Scotia, an innovative "message quilt" is allowing organ recipients to express their gratitude and donor families to gain a glimpse into the lives they have helped to rebuild. The Organ Procurement Centre at the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre in Halifax sponsored the creation of 2 special quilts that are being displayed throughout Nova Scotia. "The most precious gift I ever received has come from a perfect stranger," writes Donald. "Thank you." Heather, on a piece of her satin wedding dress, had these words stitched: "A wedding toast to a young man I never knew who signed a donor card and gave me my Dad to walk down the aisle with me." Donalee Moulton, Halifax
