Quilt #32 Raeleigh donated by Sandra Chin

This beautiful quilt was designed and donated by Sandra Chin.She fussy cut all the little
bears and made this charming scrappy quilt. I will definately steal the pattern and
I continue to be awed by her generousity to me and The Duncan Project.

Quilt #32 was given to an adorable 2 year old girl named Raeleigh. This little one has cancer and is soon to go through what is hoped to be her last round of chemo. Her story is still being written.

Since I began this project, I have become so very aware of how many people are struggling with cancers of all types and varieties. My own mother had breast cancer less than a year ago. What I probably didn't fully appreciate is the number of children and young adults battling this monster.

My love and thoughts go out to this little one.

Love in the stitches....

The Beginning

The Duncan Project was conceived one day shortly after Duncan's passing while I was out walking the dog. At the time, I was praying and pleading for understanding and acceptance. One of the tender mercies I received was a very clear answer that it was God's will and that "it's okay." Armed with that knowledge, I looked for a way to process my own grief, while turning my heart to God and honoring Duncan. To learn the lessons Heavenly Father has for us and in response increase my love and support to those in need.

I remember distinctly two separate occasions in my life of great distress where I received a handmade quilt. These were not merely blankets for warmth (which in one instance was very much needed) but works of art. The best loving hands have to offer and I felt deeply comforted. I could feel the love in the stitches.

My mind started to contemplate if these quilts could be created as a comfort and a way to show love to those in time of joyful or difficult transition. Would this also be the means of healing for my broken heart? The Spirit whispered yes. I have invited close friends and family to join me in making quilts and identifying recipients. In this blog, I will tell the stories of givers and receivers. So the journey of a 100 quilts begins....
