[QUOTE=Katiedid2;7151588]very nice .. beautiful colors.. but what is a "prayer quilt"?[/QUOTE
A prayer quilt is for someone who is in need of our prayers--do to an illness, loss, injury, etc. The quilt is placed in the church and members and friends say prayers for the receiver. Some quilts are only put together with ties and while people are saying a prayer they also tie a knot to "hold the prayer into the quilt." It is okay if a prayer quilt is machine quilted, but the ties have to still be on it as well. When the receiver gets the quilt and they snuggle up in it, they find comfort in knowing God is close as well as their family and friends and it helps them get through their difficult times.
