Pocket prayer quilts
 

Well slowly I got there 🥳 Finished the pouches for my Ladies at church and put a hand cream in them (donated by the church) as well as a little pocket prayer quilt 😁
Here are just a few of the prayer quilts I made 😉 and I also had some labels printed 😁
Thanks for looking ❤️

Very nice. Haven’t heard of that before.good idea.

Those are amazing.

Those are cute and such a treasure. So nice to carry one with you for comfort. Thanks for the inspiration.

I've had these on my wish list to make.

I had no idea anyone else was making pocket prayer quilts! Mine aren't nearly as nice, or pretty, but people seem to like them....

These are so precious! What size are the blocks you made? This is something I would love to make for my prayers circle for those who are making prayer request.

I'm not sure who the question is addressed to, but I'll give an answer anyway. Here is a link to a YouTube video that tells how to make them, although I didn't follow the instructions exactly. I make mine 2 1/2 inches before the outer stitching. I also print a backing for mine, rather than pinning a paper to them, and I don't put the cross inside, I stitch it to the outside. Hope this helps/

Sorry....forgot to put the link in....

I made mine blocks 4,5” 😉 they end up 4” 😁

These are such a sweet idea in these troubled times.

I had never heard of these. Very nice idea

cute small prayer quilts. I made one for my friend and put it in her birthday card. She loved it. I got the idea from Shabby Fabrics.

These are so precious. I will be putting them on my to do list.

Very pretty and so thoughtful.

Very thoughtful gift. I have never seen them before to thanks for posting the pictures.

I made some for Christmas but wasn't sure they would go through the US Postal mail. I sew a tiny cross to mine. Does anyone know if they can make through the mail and do I need to "package" them in some way?

I put mine in envelopes and have no problem. Of course mine are very small.....

Thank you for the link. I will be saving this thread so I can made 'many' in the weeks to come for our prayer team.

Maybe just a little bubble wrap. They are really sweet!

Thank you SusieQOH. I didn't even think of bubble wrap but you are right a tiny spot of bubble wrap over the cross would keep it from getting caught up in the post office equipment.
Gonna give it a try in the get well card I need to send.

I make mine with scrap 4- 2 1/2" squares into a 4 patch and on the back side, I had a prayer I wrote printed out in yardage by Spoonflower. I cut out the prayers and sew a small border (scrap strings) around the prayer, trim it to 4 1/2". I use white felt as the batting. I buy wooden crosses from Oriental Trading, slip one inside, stitch around the whole edge once, then 1/4" from edge. I put the pocket quilts in a clear plastic envelope to keep them clean. If I mail them, I put them in a card. I keep some, in the envelope, in my purse to give away. I put two in the pocket of the tote bag I put comfort quilts in when I give them away.

Those are nice little quilts and I'm sure everyone will appriciate them.

What a lovely idea! Your prayer quilts are darling.

I'm not quite sure but I think I made them either 4 or 4,5"

I bought a little kit from Shabby Fabrics. Came with a small golden cross that you sew in to each one and then attach the written prayer. I made them for a luncheon we were having and gifted one to each of my sisters and friends in attendance. You can feel the cross inside as you rub on the cloth. Good reminder to let go let God. My prayer was different yet similar. And as i put the cross in each one I said a specific prayer for the recipient. I have seen several of the ladies since and each one has pulled out her pocket prayer and showed me how she is keeping it near.... We all need a little something extra in these times.....
