What are prayer quilts?This type of quilt is a "lap" quilt, laced with heavy thread. These laces, or threads, are tied with a square knot by members of the quilting group and congregation. The quilts are a gift of love and prayer. They are a statement to our belief in prayer and our faith in God and in His power to comfort, strengthen, and heal.
Each Knot Represents a Prayer - The idea behind these prayer quilts is simple. As each knot is tied, a silent prayer is offered for someone in special need, who then receives the finished quilt. Cards with information about the recipients are available so that people can continue to remember them in their prayers. How can i help?You can help by praying, quilting or donating. All are welcome, whether you are a quilter or not. If you feel you'd like to be a part of this rewarding ministry, we'd love to have you. Then you can become a witness to the awesomeness of prayer! Donations of fabric are needed. (1 yard - 100% cotton fabric) If you don't want to shop, you can donate gift cards or money to the Quilters Group for fabric to be purchased.
