Then, When someone submits a name, to the church, of a member or friend who is facing surgery or has cancer or other illnesses and in need of comforting prayers, then during the church service, the quilt is passed around from person to person, each taking just a few seconds to say a short prayer while they tie a knot in the yarn tie, and pass to the next person to pray and tie a knot, for the person in need of prayers. The recipient of the quilt then feels the love and comfort from all the prayers that were said in all the tied knots on the quilt. You might check to see if there is such a group of dedicated quilter ladies in your area or perhaps suggest the idea to a local quilt guild perhaps to start a group like this. It is such a caring sharing way to use your quilting hobby.
