I make a lot of baby quilts and now I’ll be adding a prayer quilt square from the same material for the new mom. I will also be adding a little cross inside every quilt I make from now on. I’ve always prayed as I sew and piece the quilt together for the person I’m making the quilt for....asking God to wrap them in His loving care and to give them peace and comfort. So inspire! Thank you!!!!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Oh, we love that idea!! Thank you so much for sharing that with us! - Morgan

[@dorahenrichon1106]

Dear Jen, I have been making these prayer quilts like crazy. So far I bet that I have made around 200 quilts and have given them all away. I have gotten very positive feed back for these. Thank your customer and you for sharing this great project.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That is so wonderful to hear! You're a machine! ;) We're glad that these have been able to bring some joy and peace to so many people. - Morgan

[@joyceashbridge3724]

Thank you so much for this video. The Lord had put this idea into my mind on several occasions, and this time I put prayer cloths into google and yours was one which came up. It just seemed so right and doable. Praise God, so lovely. I started making them straight away, and the Lord is using them to His Glory. God Bless from Joyce in the U.K.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

[@teresapittman-wall3370]

Thank you for this tutorial! It is perfect for our little mission called Sweet Child of Mine (we make infant gowns, blankets, etc. for babies that don't make it home from the hospital). We are making these little pocket quilts out of the same fabric of the baby's gowns so that the mother has a piece of the fabric to keep. Your tutorial will bless many.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That is amazing! I'm sure they all will cherish them! Thank you for sharing! Stay safe and happy sewing! ~Leah

[@katzentatzen2431]

That is amazing. We see a sewing group. The women sew little blanket, stars, hearts ans Butterflies. The familys are very sad. This unborn babys are called Sternenkinder. It means starchildren. They are always there, even when they are little angels. Like stars. You can't see them in the day, but they are always there.

It is December 22nd 2020 and I am watching this tutorial. I ordered two pocket packs a while ago but have been working on projects for Operation Christmas Child and then on actual Christmas presents. My best bfffff just lost her son in a car accident last Monday. Needless to say things are really sad right now. But she and I are going to make pocket prayer quilts this weekend to keep our hands and hearts busy and as a way of thanking the Lord for His constant love and for our friends who stay by our sides through thick and thin. God bless you💕

I love these and plan to make some for my sister's church. They love to have things to give parishioners who are ill or grieving. I might try to stencil the prayer directly on the back fabric.

[@pocketquiltsforveterans9564]

Hi Jenn! Love your video on how to make pocket prayer quilts. I have a take on that mission of getting crafter, sewers and quilters a desire to make Pocket Quilts for Veterans. Since Veterans are as diverse as America is, I thought about all the faiths and human conditions that can be shared and expressed to Veterans. So I looked online, as it turns up, all on Amazon stores, the best charms to put inside the pocket quilts. So I found the Star of David, the Islamic/Muslim crescent moon as well as eastern practices like Buddhism, Tao, Confuscism, etc. as well as universal human conditions like patriotism with a patriotic star, love; with a heart, and the hand with the eye in the palm, that's about protection. I made up labels for each one of these for folks to print out and cut up and attach them. I and my sewing friend have committed to make up and send out hundreds of these to three dedicated Veteran Healthcare facilities in two different states. If the two of us can make over 1,200 in the last six months, just think of how many more can. I just figured out how to create a KZbin channel but I did it today and you are the first person I am sending this mission thought out to because you have the BEST video on how to make Pocket Prayer Quilts that I hope turns into a sewing, crafting, quilting movement that can be met for our Veterans. (During COVID-19, we too made face masks for those in need! We are kindred folk. From Feb. 2020 to Nov. 2021 I made 4,500 and they were 4 ply with pliable nose, reversible, washable and fitted. Made up quite a few sizes for face sizes 2 years old to 99. Not one was ever sold.) Hope you know that there are a lot of folks out there that appreciate you making this video and I refer folks to it all the time. Want to put it up on our new KZbin Channel that I just put up this morning. Bless you and thank you Jenn. Take care.

[@jinagibbs7108]

This is a lovely idea! I can't wait to make some to give out. I know a lot of people who are scared, hurt financially or ill and this would be like a "worry stone" or extra reminder that they are cared for. Thanks for sharing! I'd love to see more things like this shared.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We agree with you! So many people need that extra reminder that someone is thinking of them.

We're very happy you're enjoying these sweet pocket prayers! Thank you for watching! 💖 -Michelle

[@bettywhittington625]

My daughter and I have been making these for years. Between the two of us we've given out over two thousand. Sometimes people are having a hard time and they just need a little reminder or pick me up. I give out a lot at the hospital since I'm there all the time with my husband. I've made them with military colors, fire fighter colors, and police colors. Sometimes people just need them like an extra hug. Sometimes people say that's the nicest thing that's happened to them in they don't know how long. My husband has to go to five different clinics including the dentist and I've given one to everyone in their offices. Doesn't take much to make people happy and it's like a compliment, it makes you feel as good as they do. Have a great day❤️

[@Kimmcdougalcrafter]

That's awesome Betty! Blessings to you and your family for helping to spread love!!!

I came across your tutorial by accident, but I think it was a divine appointed accident because I am excited to get started on this project. I think I shall give two to each person, one for them to keep and one for them to share.

Thank you so much for this idea. I've been crocheting prayer squares to send to our deployed military members. This will be another item I can make to send to them. I didn't have any sound when I was watching the video and I don't know why so if you mentioned where to purchase the little cross pendants, I couldn't hear. Can you tell me where you purchased the crosses or if you offer them at Shabby Fabrics. Thank you and stay safe. Jackie

These are great for sending to the Military! We are temporarily out of stock for the kits, however we do have an email sign up so you can receive a notification when these do come in! ~Leah www.shabbyfabrics.com/Pocket-Prayer-Quilt-Pack-P85831.aspx

[@donnas.1368]

Hi everyone. Our quilt ministry has been making hundreds of these. They are wonderful! But one great shortcut that one of the ladies came up with. Instead of sewing and turning right side out. Just stitch a quarter inch all around the square and trim with pinking shears to finish. No need to turn inside out which takes a lot of time and limber fingers. Lol.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

What a fun suggestion! Thank you for sharing, and we're glad you've been able to spread encouragement to others with these Pocket Prayers! 💖 -Michelle

What a tremendous, beautiful, and meaningful idea! Thank you for sharing! I think I might try making the outer layers without an inner layer of fabric, turn it out, press it, and then slip a small square of fleece or felt (cut just shy of the width and length) in the middle before top stitching to close up the open edge. These will be fun to play with!

Can’t wait to make a lot of these. Your so right. Every one needs a little love. Thank you ❤️

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Yes they do! Let us know how yours turn out.

[@Pam-wy7wn]

Could I just use pinking shears to cut them out, then zigzag all sides? With arthritis, I think it would be too difficult for me to turn inside out. This is a precious project. God bless you.

[@ediefrasier2932]

I think that is a great idea!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That would be lovely! Let us know how yours turn out! - Morgan

[@sherrys5713]

Pam, I love that idea. Thanks so much for suggesting it. I plan on making lots so that would save so much time. Also, you could use the cotton batting. Plus, I have a rotary cutter with the pinked blade. I feel an assembly line in my future. LOL. God bless.

[@terrismith1860]

Pam Satterfield that’s a great idea!

[@debbiekeener7375]

I thought I'd try serging the edges, with right sides out.

[@raphelleguy6529]

What a great idea! What do you think about adding a pocket on the back to place the prayer in? Would that make it too thick to work with?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That's a cute idea! It will be thicker, but it would probably still work. Let us know if you give it a try! - Morgan

[@tracydempsey6283]

Great idea Raphelle!

[@churchoffice9788]

Thank you Jen. This was timely - I was looking for something to make and send to those I love. People who have lost loved ones. People who are ill. This is just perfect....Blessing

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We're so happy this project inspires you. Thanks so much for your kind comment! -Michelle

[@marvinthomason8540]

Just found this tutorial. Perfect. I am unable to make one this small. Would it work just a bit larger? Where can I find the crosses? Bless you for sharing this. Mary ps I subscribed

[@cherrilgallagher7875]

That is so cool Beautiful

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Thank you! Glad you like it! - Yajaira

[@jazmine0224]

yes i can not find the prayer to print out it says you have to pay for it i clicked on the download all it shows is the pattern to make the quilt not the saying so where would i look at

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hello! We added the prayer to the free pattern. It's on the last page! - Morgan

[@CarolLiege]

Since the kits are sold out now, could you make a printable version of the prayer sheet available until they're available again?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We have the prayer added onto the free download so you can copy and paste that, and print right from home! :) - Morgan

[@CarolLiege]

@@ShabbyFabrics I don't see it. www.shabbyfabrics.com/Assets/Downloads/PocketPrayerQuilt_forDownload.pdf

[@CarolLiege]

Never mind - I see I can cut and paste the little copy. I was imagining a page with multiple copies for multiple pocket quilts - but can retype or make a screen shot and make my own.

[@geraldinelombardo7434]

Carol Liege, Carol, I have alway had challenges with computers and printers. But what I have learned over the years is, type one prayer, then ‘copy’ and ‘paste’ that to another section on the page. By the time you’re done coping and pasting, you will have an entire page to print out. Hope this helps. Stay healthy. Have a great day!

[@CarolLiege]

@@geraldinelombardo7434 Thanks, Geraldine. You can't cut-n-paste from a PDF, but it was easy to grab a screenshot once I saw the square in the lower right corner. I could also have retyped and repeated, or used a full sheet of a label template in Word. Both alternatives if you're going to try it too.

[@rileymcfarland5139]

Thank you for this tutorial. I will be making these to go along with the masks that I have been making as well for my friends and family to get them through this difficult time. I have a feeling that I will continue to make these long after the covid-19 pandemic.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That is such a sweet idea! I'm sure they will love them! ~Leah

[@yvettesobaszek8100]

Oh my that is wonderful! Thank you for sharing this. Praying for your health.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Thank you for watching! Be well! - Morgan

[@pearlleonardbouchard2753]

Has anyone that sewn the pocket Pray quilt by chance enlarge the pattern to 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 . Which would be much easier To turn .

[@ShabbyFabrics]

If someone has, we'd love to hear how it worked! :) - Morgan

[@annielittlewolf2017]

Pearl Bouchard: Have you tried making in 2 1/2”square yet? If so, did it work? I’m trying to work out mine, the raw measurements, that is. Could use any advice you have! THX!

[@pearlleonardbouchard2753]

Annie Littlewolf yes I did, slightly too big . 2 x 2 that is working out very well . Am finishing a embroidery and will do example of another one 2x2 strips lenght 5 inches . Will send a pic of it .

[@pearlleonardbouchard2753]

Annie Littlewolf also working on a rosary pouch - to go,with the pray pocket- one side of pocket pouch for rosary and the other side the Pray quilt. Been playing with that

[@pearlleonardbouchard2753]

Ann. Am trying to upload a pic on the Pray quilt - I did mine 2x2 and it works out well . Also did the pray on fabric photo paper and printed the Pray on the fabric photo and just applique it on the back! Would like to show you but cannot upload the pics .

[@lindasnow6936]

Thank you so much!! I am making these to mail to the ladies in our church for Mothers Day during this quarantine! Blessings! Linda

Thank you for this. I've made one for my sister, an NHS community worker who has recently been redeployed to the front line in an emergency hospital in London. Christine X

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We'll be thinking about your sister and hoping she stays safe.

[@teresarutterford442]

Thank you so much for these... I have made 100 of these lovely Pocket Prayer quilts and they are being distributed to 100 people. It is a wonderful way to share love, hope and support, especially at this difficult time of isolation for us in the UK. Each one has a small cross inside and a card with a message. I added some scraps of torn up wadding (those bits we usually throw away!) to slightly pad the inside (not too much as you can't feel the cross if it's too 'stuffed!) . . Thank you for this beautiful gift.. "made with love and stitched with prayers"

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That is such a sweet idea! Thank you for sharing! Stay safe and happy sewing! ~Leah

[@nannykat1057]

What a perfect little, but meaningful quilt to send in cards and attaching to face masks...my church family will love these. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏. As an experiment I put wrong sides together and serged. Put a little drop of Fray check on ends.. saved the hassle of turning and it looks like a lace edge..❤️

That's such a cute idea, we love that way of finishing this! We're so glad you like the project and will be sharing with your church family.

I just ordered my cross packets! I cannot wait for them to arrive... I will begin making my mini quilts and just not close them off. Thank you for such a wonderful 'giving gift'! I had said to my hubby early on in the pandemic that I wish I had something I could make that he could put in his pocket and hand out to the store clerks, etc. when he is out and about, but just couldn't put my finger on it - and here it is! Thank you so much - you are a blessing!

Thank you! These have been very popular and everyone loves them! Happy sewing and stay safe! ~Leah

[@marilynb4504]

These pocket prayer quilts are awesome! Your ad showed up right after I finished watching my church service on You Tube this morning. Perfectly placed ad! That finished at 11:30 and I'm still on your site almost 3 hours later. Your tutorials are wonderful! Thank you so much for all you put into them. What a blessing it was to find the precious tiny quilts. I can't wait to make a lot of them for all my friends and others as soon as I finish making face masks - and receive your little kits with the crosses. I was also thrilled to see your 1/4" braided elastic and hope that gets here quickly. I don't care much for the elastic I'm having to use on the masks right now. I'm sure I will be checking out many more of your excellent videos. You do a great job. Thank you.
