To Beth and Jim with love

The Friendship QuilT

In May of 2002, Dr. Quinn creator Beth Sullivan and her husband Jim Knobeloch (Jake on Dr. Quinn) suffered serious physical injuries as the result of a car accident in Australia. On learning of this tragedy, fans of Dr. Quinn around the world vowed to show this couple how much they meant to them.- The idea of the 'Friendship Quilt' was born. Through the efforts of Dianne Bennett and with the help of friends, the quilt squares, tokens of love from around the world that had poured in, were crafted together into a beautiful quilt which was presented to Beth and her husband from the fans. The story of the making of that quilt was told in Issue 6 of the DQ Times
