What is a Prayer Quilt?

Can you touch a prayer? 

Can you pull it close and feel its comfort?

You can if it’s part of a prayer quilt.

The idea behind these quilts is simple, yet powerful. 

A heavy thread is used to take stitches through the quilt layers, and the ends are left free to be tied with a square knot. 

As each knot is tied, a silent prayer is offered for

someone in special need.

The quilt is then given to that person so that the

person is covered in prayer. 

What makes each quilt so special is not the pattern,

color, or workmanship,

but the fact that prayer is symbolically tied into each one.

These comforters are a statement of faith,

and a testimony to our belief in God

and in the power of prayer.
