EmiliasNana, I found it was much easier to machine quilt the tiny pieces if I basted around the outer edge of each one onto a larger piece of stablizer, then cut the stablizer down to size afterward. But even with that the FMQ was hard to move around smoothly. I was using a very thin stablizer material this time, so maybe next time I'll try a piece regular cotton. I agree with you on these being a perfect little pick-me-up for those that can use one in these trying times.

Thank you so much for sharing photos of the pocket prayers you have made. I enjoyed going to shabby fabrics and watching the videos of how to make various styles. What a great way to use your small scraps and cheer someone else. There is a heart one that would work for Valentines day!
