Thank you so much for the note and information. My friend has to have spine surgery this month and I needed something for her. She had ovarian cancer 6 years ago and I made her a quilt and was racking my brain for something and there you all were. I need to get to work. :lol: 8-)

I learned to knit just to make prayer shawls! I love this light, lacey pattern. It is all one piece, nothing to sew together and I have made it reversible. It goes together fast as I work on it during car trips etc. I also make raggedy edge prayer quilts for the men and some for women if they perfer them to shawls.

My mother is in charge of the sewing group at her church. They make lap quilts. They use 4-1/2 inch sqs. 99 sqs. 9 across x 11 down. some are just scrappy, some are plotted out on graph paper, some are kids prints. Use 1/4 inch seams, sew in strips, sew strips together. Pretty fast. They tie the center of every other sq. with yarn and pray as they tie. Quilts are for the ill, the bereaved, the newborns, etc.

My church group makes quilts for those in the congregation having surgery, illness, or that just need reminded that they are loved. It is amazing how we are led to colors, designs, etc that we discover later are perfect matches for the intended recipient. I've decided that God is a quilter!
