Quilt #62 Heather Holt donated by Barbara Holt

Quilt # 62 was presented to Heather Holt by her mother Barbara Holt.

Barbara writes:

I love the straight line quilting on this quilt

"Quilt 62 was made for Heather Holt who is my favorite daughter. She graduated from the University of Utah on May 2 after working hard full time and going to school part time. We are so proud of her efforts and perseverance. She will be leaving Utah for Denver, Colorado in a few weeks to begin a new chapter there working and saving to attend graduate school for a degree in physical therapy. She is one of the smartest and most beautiful people I know, both inside and outside. It’s appropriate she wanted a quilt with a star pattern because it exemplifies her life. She is a bright and shining light to all who know her. We wish her all the very best in her new endeavors. The love is in the stitches."

We wish Heather the very best as she begins this new chaper in her life..

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....
