Quilt #61 Kiersten and Morgan Hannig donated by Barbara Holt

Barbara Holt who made this beautiful quilt writes:

A quilt with happy news! My niece Kiersten Schloer was married on June 2, 2018 to Morgan Hannig in beautiful Erda, Utah. It was a perfect day with lots of family and friends gathered to wish the new couple well as they begin their journey together. Kiersten’s favorite color is light blue and I hope she will cherish and use this quilt often. The love is in the stitches!

I add my love and best wishes to this beautiful couple.

I love the quilting on this one

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....
