Quilt #64 Barbara Holt donated by Book Club

All members of book club participated in this quilt. We are the lucky six that got to be there while it was presented.

Oh how we love a good surprise!

Quilt #64 was presented to Barbara Holt on August 14th by members of our book club. Barbara is an inspiration to all of us. We have had the benefit of her wisdom, kindness and love for decades. Our dear Barbara has been in a "divine storm" the past couple of years with a series of very difficult trials that would bring anyone to their knees. And yet, when we are troubled, we often turn to her for guidance and understanding. She knows how to listen without judgement and is uniquely gifted at helping each of us bear our burdens.
At a recent lunch, our wise Barbara shared some incredible insight with me about our role as mothers on this earth. She quoted a line from a William Blake poem that speaks to the weight we feel as mothers and nurturers when
It is interested to note that while Barbara has been in the midst of her own difficulties, she has sewn and donated 6 quilts to The Duncan Project. Barbara's son, Parker is recipient #34.


This quilt is just one tangible token of our love for her. From the card that accompanied the quilt, "The carpenter's star on this quilt, to us, represents the pure love of the Savior. The Savior said he would not leave us comfortless. He lovingly gave us the Holy Ghost. He has also given us friends as "comforters."

Barbara's home is decorated in neutrals. 

There is love, hope, prayers and hugs in each stitch of this quilt from the women of our group who feel honored to walk this road with our beloved Barbara.
