Dea is a renowned quilter who owns D'Vine Quilters out of Hilmar, California. She is known for her artistic long arm quilting and her contributions to the quilting community. Dea and Clifford have been together for last 19 years, they have a beautiful 17 year old daughter, Ciara. Both of whom are her biggest supporters.

October 2014, Dea was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which has knocked her off her feet and is threatening her life. It came as quite a shock as she has never been a smoker and is still so young at only 37  years old. While Dea undergoes treatment she is unable to work. Clifford, who has stood by her side for over a dozen years is needed by her side now more than ever.

We are asking you to help Dea and her family in any way you can. Any donation amount is greatly appreciated and will be used to help with day to day expenses so Dea can focus on healing and surviving.

Dea is so blessed to have such caring family, friends and customers and is extraordinarily grateful for the continued support.

For those who may be wondering, I am Dea's sister and I am close to both her and Clifford. Dea and Clifford are both aware of this page and the support we are asking for. We greatly appreciate any help you can offer.
