I absolutely love this pattern and can't wait to sew these for my dear ladies in my prayer group; Debbie, Kathy, and Vivianne. I know several people who I will be putting on my prayer list, but mostly on my heart at this time is my friend and co-worker, Christine, who lost her husband and best friend Brent this past summer. She needs prayers to deal with her grief. Thank you Shabby Fabrics!
These would be fantastic for the ‘Elf Store’ at church. We set it up for the little kids to purchase gifts for family. Between $1-$5. Everything is donated. The kids shop after a spaghetti dinner and their Christmas play.
Today I picked up my quilt from the quilters. When I took it out of the bag this tutorial for this prayer heart was included. The quilt is for my mother. We just recently started speaking after over 10 years I decided to make her a quilt. I am also excited to send her one of these prayer hearts. I may sew it to the quilt but I will definitely place a Bible verse tucked inside. Thank you for creating this. I will also be making these for my our granddaughters
That's so pretty. If I had enough fabric, I'd love to make one. I also love patchwork style! also I support praying for people, and I'm a Christian too. I know that not everyone in the world is and I am glad someone is not afraid to pray to Jesus and let others know
Because of my hands sometimes hurt, it's hard for me to turn small things out. I found that stitching the small pocket prayer quilts on the outside and trim with pinking shears works great. I can't wait to make these. I live in a senior only apartment complex so I have a great many friends these will be great for. Thanks for your wonderful ideas.
I just recently found your channel and now I'm itching to get back into sewing. My cousin just lost his wife after just under 4 months of marriage, I want to make him one of the hearts that says I thank God every time I remember you...
Thank you for another positive, uplifting tutorial. Amazing that someone could hit a ‘thumbs down’ on this video. Let’s add these anonymous souls to the prayer list.
Love this idea & I’m going to make lots for family & friends. Edit: After reading some of the comments ..my sister makes knitted caps for people going thru chemo so I think I’ll make some to go with the caps. Great idea ladies! I have a tip BEFORE turning heart right side out: At the opening press the 1/4 seam allowance in place so this way there is less fudging before you sew it closed.
I was so pleased to stumble upon this video at the perfect time. My friend, Claudia and her husband, Van just lost their beloved Golden Retriever, Naia. I am going to choose fabric that reflects Naia's sweet and gentle personality. Thank you, Jen for this video. It will be perfect for the somber occasion.
That is very sweet of you! They will love this project! Happy that you enjoyed this tutorial and we appreciate your support! Thanks for your comment! - Abby
I envy your gift for sewing and creating. What a wonderful talent you have for teaching and making your tutorials so informative and friendly. Just love watching you teach. These pocket prayers are beautiful and I hope to make many. If only I could make them look as nice as yours. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
I love this! I'll be making one for my sister of my heart Linda. She is on hospice for cancer. Hopefully, later I can make some for our church to give out for anyone in need.
Wow, fabulous tutorial and gift idea for my family Christmas party! The 1st ones i am making are for my sister's sister in law Maria who has been diagnosed with stomach cancer and for my sister Nancy who is caring for her! God Bless them both. These are wonderful! God Bless you! So happy i found your channel. Terry
Happy that you enjoyed this tutorial These pocket prayers make great gifts! They will love them! You are the sweetest and we appreciate your support and comment! - Abby
What an fabulous idea. I'm going to keep it in my purse so that whenever I go out (which is nearly daily!) I will immediately think to pray for everyone on my list. I'm going to make one for my mother, my sister, my two best friends, my daughter in law and my neighbor/hair dresser. I know they will all use them and love them. Thanks for this special idea.
Thank you for providing this tutorial free. I hope there are sewing groups and church and school children who will make this and share the love or their prayers. ❤
My mom passed away in 2012 and we used her house dresses to quilt lap robes for all us kids. I have a bunch of fabric left that I have been saving and I will make these for all her grandkids...
Thanks, Jen! I know a couple of senior widows who are going through this pandemic alone. This is a good idea for something to let them know someone cares for them.
Thank you so much Jen, I really really enjoyed watching you creating this beautiful and stunning prayer heart ❤️. I really really love ❤️ this, I’m going to make one for my beautiful daughter, who is going through a worrying time at the moment, and I’m sure she would really really love and appreciate it. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
I'm going to make these for my whole family, but in particular I have two friends that are going through their own hardships. My best friend Debbie is in a rehab center because she is diabetic and has pressure ulcers that were not getting better at home. My other friend lost her husband a few months ago and she has not been able to see a life without him. She is really in need. Both friends are Catholic, and I think both will appreciate it for what it symbolizes. Thank you Jen, you are an awesome teacher!
I'm making quite a lot, I've got 30 church lady friends, and I'm handing them out in our prayer group. I teach a class of 50-75 so I'll make each one of them one. And a bunch and I mean a bunch for the Children's hospitals we visit for Christmas and for The Women's shelter. So, I got my friends helping together this year we plan on giving out probably 3500 total by the end of 2023. I do thank you so much for the tutorial and the cross kits! I'll be buying in bulk and so will my friends :D
My husband and I are over the Care Ministry at our church. I love this and will be making some to pass along to church members and to put in the care packages we create for individuals. Thank you so much and God bless!
Hi Pat - I sure loved reading this post. The idea of six sisters getting together in the mountains is such a wonderful thought! Can you adopt me? I always wanted a sister but didn't get one! I know they will love these handmade patchwork hearts from you Pat. God Bless You and your sisters! :) Jen
Thank you SO much for this idea, pattern, and tutorial. I have made several of these now and I have given many to friends and family and a few folks I don't know at the request of folks I do (if that makes any sense lol). I hand write a prayer on their behalf and put it and two or three Scripture verse cards I got on Amazon. The Lord is using these in a MIGHTY WAY!!!!!
I made the PPQ's for my Silent Sisters at church. We are a small group that meets weekly for 30 minutes of meditation and prayer. They loved the little quilt squares. Actually, I ordered more of the kits so I could send them to other friends. Thanks Jennifer. God bless 🙏💗🧵🙏💗🧵
This would be a wonderful thing for my church sewing group to make for our church members. I already have several people on my mind who would love these.
Found this purely by chance on my Google news feed. Perfect for friends of mine who work through UK charity Christians Against Poverty. I had amazing help and support through my bankruptcy.
New to your channel. Although I’m not a seasoned sewer, I do dabble in small sewing crafts. I’m loving this heart pocket to stick a prayer in. I plan on using fabric from my mom’s clothing in remembrance of her. Thank you for sharing this project! It looks beautiful.
I am going to make as many as I can and give them to people I see that are in need and are homeless, maybe tuck in a few dollars too. Thanks so much for the great idea
So very sweet. I’m going to make one for each of my sisters in law (2) and one for my husband. My husband takes such good care of me. ( I have cancer in my brain and multiple sclerosis........double whammy) He helps me stay strong, he is my rock! The girls are also rocks to me. Make me laugh, are always there if I need them. I’m brand new to sewing, so I look forward to this, and the squares. 🙏
Thank you for sharing your story! It sounds like you have a wonderful support system ❤️ The patchwork heart pocket prayers make a lovely gift for anyone! - Sophie
I love this product my daughter just lost her daughter my granddaughter and I make the cut off but for her and put her prayer card with the cuddle bug thank you so much it is so nice to hear that somebody still believes in prayers and God
I made two of these for my in-laws who are both 87 years old. They rarely leave the house due to the pandemic and were so pleased with them. Thank you for sharing, Jen.
Thanks for sharing! We're so glad you were able to bring something so special to your in-laws. This has been such a challenging time for so many. - Morgan
I can’t love this my daughter lost her daughter on Thanksgiving my granddaughter leaving behind a year and a half old baby and I made the cut up bag for my daughter and I put a prayer card with it that’s so awesome thank you
We understand. We are glad that you've been able to use these projects to help comfort your treasured family members. Continue to take good care of them 💖 -Michelle
Jen, you just solved a scrap issue! I'll cut my batting & stitch my little bits & pieces directly to it! Think that will make a charming prayer quilt for my friends & family. TY!
Jan Hurford Hi Jen Thank you for your beautiful ideas for the prayer quilt and heart. I was blessed with receiving a quilt from a friend last week. I am now going to bless some other friends by sending some prayer hearts to them.Thank you again Blessings Jan.
Thank you Jen for this. I head up a small Church craft group and these will be wonderful for us to make as a testimony on our craft table to all the other groups that use our building. Bless you for your openness regarding the need for prayer.
Another fantasic tutorial, thank you Jenn! I want to make one for my husband"s cousin who is caring for her ailing father, and my coworker who has become a dear friend. I will be making as many as I can and giving them to people that could use a kind gesture, there is certainly a lot of us out there. May you all take care and God Bless you all! 💚🧡💙💛💜
this is so wonderful. I've been making quilted hearts for a bit now. So excited stumbled onto your tutorial. I can't afford to purchase a pattern right now. I made several a few weeks ago and added a note card that they were a remembrance of my friend that had passed away. (just attached the note to the ribbon I tied a bow with) I gave one to our bishop, he actually requested one. and one to my friends sister n law and the others I placed in public areas for anonymous people to pick up. The ones i am piecing now are made from the fabric of clothing of My Dear Friend "R" Not adding pockets to these but I am having labels made from an Etsy shop to attach on the backs. I am with everyone else. Trimming with pinking shears works the best. It looks great too
That is great to hear! Such a fun and stunning project! We appreciate your support and happy that you enjoyed this tutorial! We do have a free pattern download on our website if you are interested: www.shabbyfabrics.com/free-downloads-and-video/45/patchwork-heart-pocket-prayer-quilt-tutorial-free-pattern Hope this can help and thank you for your comment! - Abby
I have a friend that has just completed her final round of chemotherapy for the 3rd time against breast cancer and have a few friends that have gone through it too so I think making them in different pink fabrics and giving them to them will be comforting. I have made the original pocket prayers and put them in baggies and left them in the back of my church since we have only been able to start attending and many have commented how comforting they have been. Thank you for something inspiring during these difficult times we are all experiencing.
What a wonderful idea! I'm going to make one for my sister-in-law using some scraps from one of her mother's blouses. She lost her mother earlier this year and I hope this will be a comfort to her in knowing that her mother's love, and God's love, is with her always.
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. She will be in our prayers. I really think she’d enjoy it and it’ll be something that she can always carry around with her❤️ - Yajaira
Omgosh I am making these for my children with there dads clothes I saved of his,he passed in 2019 and they all wanted some of his clothes he wore in pictures with them ,this is a great idea,I have even made a few Gnomes with a couple of his shirts,thank you so much❤️❤️❤️❤️
We are so sorry for your loss! He will be kept in our prayers. I love the idea of that and it is definitely something they can always carry with them❤️ - Yajaira
I ordered the square prayer pocket a couple months ago and gave one to my daughter in-law's Mother. She lost her husband a year ago and she has some health issues also. She was so appreciative of my little gift. Thank you so much for the tutorials.
That you for the prayer heart . I am going g to make some for the cancer patients and give it the hospital to give it to the ones on chemo. Thanks again will post pictures of them for you
I just ordered the pocket prayer kit. I had wanted to order it but it was out of stock. I have my pocket squares made & ready for prayers & crosses. The patchwork hearts is another thoughtful idea. Thank you for sharing! We can all use prayer.
Love having the cross on the outside to remind me and others the significance of Jesus' death and resurrection! The heart shape is also a reminder of His love for us. :-)
Just ordered pocket prayer quilt pack so I can make some of these wonderful prayer hearts. Going to send to our cousin who we can't visit because of Covid-19. She will just love it.
I am in charge of our 2023 Quilt Show committee. I am making the 20 members on the committee thank you gifts for Christmas. I love the heart idea as a thank you. Great tutorial. P.S for my Christian friends, I will be making the cross .
I love this project ❤I’m getting together with my best friend and can’t wait to make these and share. We do bible study and see what an awesome project ❤thank you sooooo much. Have a blessed day❤
Thank you for sharing and making this tutorial! I'm making a comfort quilt for a friend who will be bringing her husband home for hospice care. Very sad. But I decided to add pocket hearts with my husband's and my prayers for them both in about 9 squares. Thank you!
Hi Pam! These make the best gifts! Make sure to subscribe to our channel to see even more fun tutorials - bit.ly/2J2mmlc Thank you for watching! - Sophie
This is a wonderful project.... this would be wonderful for the Ladies; I was thinking about making the 4 patch for the guys to carry with more masculine colors... or Red, White and Blue for Veterans... so excited!!
Thank you for sharing this with us! I love watching your tutorials, as I am new to quilting and sewing and I love the way you explain things! We lost my Dad to covid January 2021. My family and I have been having a hard time dealing with things. We never got to say goodbye as we were not allowed into the hospital to see him, so he died alone without any of us. The only time we did get to see him, was when the nurses had a minute and they would let us video chat with him. It was a truly horrible experience that I hope no one else has to go through. My Mom and I made some memory bears out of his shirts for the family. After watching this, I decided to use some of the scrap material leftovers from the bears and I made these for my family. They loved it. Now, my family can take a piece of Dad with them in their pocket or purse and when they feel the need, it is there for them. I am so thankful that you shared this with us.
We are glad you've been inspired by this project. The last few seasons have been unkind, but these pocket prayer projects are a wonderful way to spread hope. We wish you peace as you continue to be a blessing to others. 💖 -Michelle
I caught this video about a month ago and though it would be a wonderful thing to give, so I ordered the pieces from you. Just last night I heard of a family going through a difficult time and asking for prayers, so now I am making the pillows and so happy to be able to send them off to this family. THANK YOU you are so sweet and very good at what you do, I love watching you and getting inspired by you. When I am in your area this summer on my Western trip I plan to stop in.
This is so lovely! I made lots of the little square prayer quilts and sent them out at the start of lockdown. Here we are, still restricted but still needing to keep each other close in heart. I guess I've found my next project! Thank you!
Wow! Wonderful idea. When I hand this to someone I can then and there pray the pocket prayer over them knowing God will ensure I pick the perfect one needed for them at that time. Thank you, Jan💕
I love this Idea, but most of all I love YOUR heart for Jesus and other's! I am a pastor's wife and I do weekly free quilting classes, all sewing machines and supplies are free for each person to make their own quilt. The Lord layed this on my heart 3 years ago to make it possible for all ladies from anywhere to come to a safe place thst cost nothing inorder make their own quilt to keep. I started finding thrifting sewing machines and repairing them, letting people know I would take their leftover scrap material & batting for the classes. I HAVE SAID THIS BECAUSE YOU BLESSED MY HEART WHEN YOU JUST COULDN'T THROW AWAY YOUR SCRAPS! GOD BLESS YOU!
Glenda, you are doing such amazing work! Thank you for sharing and for having such a kind and loving heart. You have touched the lives of so many and we know they cherish those quilts. - Morgan
I am laying in a hospital bef in a rehab center and will unfortunately will be here for a few more months. I am going to try hand sewing this so I can give them as an original gift to the caregivers who are going above and beyond in caring for me.
Beautiful ! I bought the pocket/cross set a few months ago and I always pray first for my mom and dad as their in Il and always on my mind. I haven’t seen them in over a year because of the virus.
I made my own design and I love you pocket prayer quilts I have made a hundred during the pandemic lockdown and my dear husband posted them into our neighbours we did the whole street and I have had such lovely comments although I didn't put my name on them which made me laugh how did people know it was me. Carry on the great work I've had a rest from them but this has made me want to do some more xx
This is my gift this year, thank you. I always use forceps for the turing. Forceps are truly a help, as I have arthritis in my hands. Great video, thank you for sharing your talents and your faith.
This is such a good gift for Valentine's to your close friends and whoever you would like to give this to they can always have the prayer and the cross for them I just loved it and I just love all the colors you are so good Jen thank you so much for this you have a blessed day
After watching your original video, I’ve made soooo many. Last Christmas I put one in each of my mask customers orders. My daughter works in a hair salon and she takes a batch with her to give out to ppl in need. After talking to her clients, some are ill or dealing with a death etc. These prayer quilts are just perfect. This year I’ve had orders for many to send with a Christmas card.
I have used this idea to make a larger heart to use as a luggage tag for my suitcase. I just added a tie up the top before sandwiching the top and back, so I can to secure to my suitcase. Thank you for a beautiful project
I absolutely love this pattern and can't wait to sew these for my dear ladies in my prayer group; Debbie, Kathy, and Vivianne. I know several people who I will be putting on my prayer list, but mostly on my heart at this time is my friend and co-worker, Christine, who lost her husband and best friend Brent this past summer. She needs prayers to deal with her grief. Thank you Shabby Fabrics!

I know quite a few family who has come down with the virus, that needs prays and love sent to them.
I was just thinking of that. And how many hearts I could stitch up in a few days
I love this! I'll be making one for my sister of my heart Linda. She is on hospice for cancer. Hopefully, later I can make some for our church to give out for anyone in need.

I am making these for my sisters, we have a girls week each year,, this year in the mountains, they will be a gift for all six sisters.
Hi Pat - I sure loved reading this post. The idea of six sisters getting together in the mountains is such a wonderful thought! Can you adopt me? I always wanted a sister but didn't get one! I know they will love these handmade patchwork hearts from you Pat. God Bless You and your sisters! :) Jen

( I have cancer in my brain and multiple sclerosis........double whammy) He helps me stay strong, he is my rock! The girls are also rocks to me. Make me laugh, are always there if I need them. I’m brand new to sewing, so I look forward to this, and the squares. 🙏

I love this product my daughter just lost her daughter my granddaughter and I make the cut off but for her and put her prayer card with the cuddle bug thank you so much it is so nice to hear that somebody still believes in prayers and God
I made two of these for my in-laws who are both 87 years old. They rarely leave the house due to the pandemic and were so pleased with them. Thank you for sharing, Jen.
Thanks for sharing! We're so glad you were able to bring something so special to your in-laws. This has been such a challenging time for so many. - Morgan
I can’t love this my daughter lost her daughter on Thanksgiving my granddaughter leaving behind a year and a half old baby and I made the cut up bag for my daughter and I put a prayer card with it that’s so awesome thank you
We understand. We are glad that you've been able to use these projects to help comfort your treasured family members. Continue to take good care of them 💖 -Michelle
I did several of the Prayer Quilts of the orginal design. These look fun. Thank you for the free download. I plan to make some for my 4 sisters.
So glad you're enjoying them! Let us know how they turn out! - Morgan
Jen, you just solved a scrap issue! I'll cut my batting & stitch my little bits & pieces directly to it! Think that will make a charming prayer quilt for my friends & family. TY!
We're glad this project has inspired you! Thanks for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
Jan Hurford Hi Jen Thank you for your beautiful ideas for the prayer quilt and heart. I was blessed with receiving a quilt from a friend last week. I am now going to bless some other friends by sending some prayer hearts to them.Thank you again Blessings Jan.
Thanks for sharing!! We're so glad you were able to receive one and that you're going to be giving them.
Love the larger size and the purpose of this project. Thank you Jen and SF for sharing!
You are so welcome! Let us know how they turn out! - Morgan
Thank you Jen for this. I head up a small Church craft group and these will be wonderful for us to make as a testimony on our craft table to all the other groups that use our building. Bless you for your openness regarding the need for prayer.
We're glad you enjoy these sweet Pocket Prayers. They are wonderful and have a variety of uses for encouragement. Thanks for watching! 💖 -Michelle
Another fantasic tutorial, thank you Jenn! I want to make one for my husband"s cousin who is caring for her ailing father, and my coworker who has become a dear friend. I will be making as many as I can and giving them to people that could use a kind gesture, there is certainly a lot of us out there. May you all take care and God Bless you all! 💚🧡💙💛💜
That sounds wonderful!
this is so wonderful. I've been making quilted hearts for a bit now. So excited stumbled onto your tutorial. I can't afford to purchase a pattern right now. I made several a few weeks ago and added a note card that they were a remembrance of my friend that had passed away. (just attached the note to the ribbon I tied a bow with) I gave one to our bishop, he actually requested one. and one to my friends sister n law and the others I placed in public areas for anonymous people to pick up. The ones i am piecing now are made from the fabric of clothing of My Dear Friend "R" Not adding pockets to these but I am having labels made from an Etsy shop to attach on the backs. I am with everyone else. Trimming with pinking shears works the best. It looks great too
That is great to hear! Such a fun and stunning project! We appreciate your support and happy that you enjoyed this tutorial! We do have a free pattern download on our website if you are interested: www.shabbyfabrics.com/free-downloads-and-video/45/patchwork-heart-pocket-prayer-quilt-tutorial-free-pattern Hope this can help and thank you for your comment! - Abby
Love this heart. ❤ I will be purchasing the kit to have the little extras. Thank you!
We're so glad this project inspires you! Thanks for watching. -Michelle
These would make great Christmas gifts for 2020.
We agree! - Morgan
I have a friend that has just completed her final round of chemotherapy for the 3rd time against breast cancer and have a few friends that have gone through it too so I think making them in different pink fabrics and giving them to them will be comforting. I have made the original pocket prayers and put them in baggies and left them in the back of my church since we have only been able to start attending and many have commented how comforting they have been. Thank you for something inspiring during these difficult times we are all experiencing.
We love the idea of customizing these for the intended person. We'll be keeping your friends in our prayers.
That's a lovely idea! 💖💖
Loved the pocket prayer quilt, instead of using paper for the prayer I cut 2" material and did iron on prayer. Love it
That's a great idea, we love that! - Morgan
How do you do that? I would love to try it. could you send it to my email? nancydebiasio@aol.com
What a wonderful idea! I'm going to make one for my sister-in-law using some scraps from one of her mother's blouses. She lost her mother earlier this year and I hope this will be a comfort to her in knowing that her mother's love, and God's love, is with her always.
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. She will be in our prayers. I really think she’d enjoy it and it’ll be something that she can always carry around with her❤️ - Yajaira
Omgosh I am making these for my children with there dads clothes I saved of his,he passed in 2019 and they all wanted some of his clothes he wore in pictures with them ,this is a great idea,I have even made a few Gnomes with a couple of his shirts,thank you so much❤️❤️❤️❤️
We are so sorry for your loss! He will be kept in our prayers. I love the idea of that and it is definitely something they can always carry with them❤️ - Yajaira
I ordered the square prayer pocket a couple months ago and gave one to my daughter in-law's Mother. She lost her husband a year ago and she has some health issues also. She was so appreciative of my little gift.
Thank you so much for the tutorials.
That's so sweet, thank you for sharing! - Morgan
That you for the prayer heart . I am going g to make some for the cancer patients and give it the hospital to give it to the ones on chemo. Thanks again will post pictures of them for you
That's such a lovely thing to do.
I just ordered the pocket prayer kit. I had wanted to order it but it was out of stock. I have my pocket squares made & ready for prayers & crosses.
The patchwork hearts is another thoughtful idea. Thank you for sharing! We can all use prayer.
Hope you enjoy it! Let us know how they turn out! - Morgan
How do you get the pattern? Janearfl505@ outlook.com
Love having the cross on the outside to remind me and others the significance of Jesus' death and resurrection! The heart shape is also a reminder of His love for us. :-)
We love that, too.
Just ordered pocket prayer quilt pack so I can make some of these wonderful prayer hearts. Going to send to our cousin who we can't visit because of Covid-19. She will just love it.
Thank you! This will be so nice for your cousin to receive!
I am in charge of our 2023 Quilt Show committee. I am making the 20 members on the committee thank you gifts for Christmas. I love the heart idea as a thank you. Great tutorial.
P.S for my Christian friends, I will be making the cross .

@@joane8651 That sounds like a wonderful idea!! -Michelle
Thank you for sharing and making this tutorial! I'm making a comfort quilt for a friend who will be bringing her husband home for hospice care. Very sad. But I decided to add pocket hearts with my husband's and my prayers for them both in about 9 squares. Thank you!
That is a lovely thought! We're glad this project had inspired you as much as you inspire us! -Michelle
Made up some of these for presents. They are cuter in life than on the screen. Thank you for the idea.
Hi Pam! These make the best gifts! Make sure to subscribe to our channel to see even more fun tutorials - bit.ly/2J2mmlc Thank you for watching! - Sophie
This is a wonderful project.... this would be wonderful for the Ladies; I was thinking about making the 4 patch for the guys to carry with more masculine colors... or Red, White and Blue for Veterans... so excited!!
We love that idea! They're going to love them.
Sound like neat idea
Thank you for sharing this with us! I love watching your tutorials, as I am new to quilting and sewing and I love the way you explain things!
We lost my Dad to covid January 2021. My family and I have been having a hard time dealing with things. We never got to say goodbye as we were not allowed into the hospital to see him, so he died alone without any of us. The only time we did get to see him, was when the nurses had a minute and they would let us video chat with him. It was a truly horrible experience that I hope no one else has to go through. My Mom and I made some memory bears out of his shirts for the family. After watching this, I decided to use some of the scrap material leftovers from the bears and I made these for my family. They loved it. Now, my family can take a piece of Dad with them in their pocket or purse and when they feel the need, it is there for them. I am so thankful that you shared this with us.
We are glad you've been inspired by this project. The last few seasons have been unkind, but these pocket prayer projects are a wonderful way to spread hope. We wish you peace as you continue to be a blessing to others. 💖 -Michelle
May his memory be for a blessing.
Lovely video! Great project for the rime we are living. I will make a few for my neighbor, girlfriends and sister. Thank You Bell Well
Have fun! Let us know how they turn out! - Morgan
Hi Jen, I have enjoyed your presentations very much, but this one is particularly meaningful and uplifting. Thank you.
So glad! Thank you for watching! - Morgan
I caught this video about a month ago and though it would be a wonderful thing to give, so I ordered the pieces from you. Just last night I heard of a family going through a difficult time and asking for prayers, so now I am making the pillows and so happy to be able to send them off to this family. THANK YOU you are so sweet and very good at what you do, I love watching you and getting inspired by you. When I am in your area this summer on my Western trip I plan to stop in.
That is wonderful. We're glad this project has inspired you. Thank you for bringing some hope to others! 💖 -Michelle
Mini projects with scraps are the best!!! Thank you.
Yes they are! - Yajaira
This is so lovely! I made lots of the little square prayer quilts and sent them out at the start of lockdown. Here we are, still restricted but still needing to keep each other close in heart. I guess I've found my next project! Thank you!
We're so glad you liked the first ones! This will be a nice way to share even more of that love.
Love these!! Think I will make a bunch to just have around to give out as needed. Also going to make some for Valentines for my daughter. (3rd grade)
Great idea!! Love it! - Morgan
Wow! Wonderful idea. When I hand this to someone I can then and there pray the pocket prayer over them knowing God will ensure I pick the perfect one needed for them at that time. Thank you, Jan💕
Hi Emily! Aren't these pocket prayers adorable?! Thank you so much for watching! - Sophie
I love this Idea, but most of all I love YOUR heart for Jesus and other's! I am a pastor's wife and I do weekly free quilting classes, all sewing machines and supplies are free for each person to make their own quilt. The Lord layed this on my heart 3 years ago to make it possible for all ladies from anywhere to come to a safe place thst cost nothing inorder make their own quilt to keep. I started finding thrifting sewing machines and repairing them, letting people know I would take their leftover scrap material & batting for the classes. I HAVE SAID THIS BECAUSE YOU BLESSED MY HEART WHEN YOU JUST COULDN'T THROW AWAY YOUR SCRAPS! GOD BLESS YOU!
Glenda, you are doing such amazing work! Thank you for sharing and for having such a kind and loving heart. You have touched the lives of so many and we know they cherish those quilts. - Morgan
I am laying in a hospital bef in a rehab center and will unfortunately will be here for a few more months. I am going to try hand sewing this so I can give them as an original gift to the caregivers who are going above and beyond in caring for me.
That's a lovely idea!
I'm excited to have stumbled across this idea! I think the hearts would be wonderful gifts for the annual retreat that I attend.
They're perfect for giving! We're so happy this project inspires you! -Michelle
Beautiful ! I bought the pocket/cross set a few months ago and I always pray first for my mom and dad as their in Il and always on my mind. I haven’t seen them in over a year because of the virus.
Hi Deborah! What a beautiful sentiment. Hopefully you will see them very soon! Thank you for sharing! - Sophie
Thank you so much for your inspirational project, so beautifully and simply described.
I will defo be making these with my scrapes!
You are so welcome! Let us know how they go! - Morgan
I made my own design and I love you pocket prayer quilts I have made a hundred during the pandemic lockdown and my dear husband posted them into our neighbours we did the whole street and I have had such lovely comments although I didn't put my name on them which made me laugh how did people know it was me. Carry on the great work I've had a rest from them but this has made me want to do some more xx
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing that with us and for sharing with your community.
Thank you for doing videos on these projects I enjoy very much watching them.

This is my gift this year, thank you. I always use forceps for the turing. Forceps are truly a help, as I have arthritis in my hands. Great video, thank you for sharing your talents and your faith.

thanks for the pocket prayer and this heart sample. I am going to use them as prizes at a women's meeting.
We're happy this project inspires you! Thanks so much for commenting. -Michelle
After watching your original video, I’ve made soooo many. Last Christmas I put one in each of my mask customers orders. My daughter works in a hair salon and she takes a batch with her to give out to ppl in need. After talking to her clients, some are ill or dealing with a death etc. These prayer quilts are just perfect. This year I’ve had orders for many to send with a Christmas card.
How wonderful! We are very happy to hear that you enjoy this sweet project. Thank you for sharing these! 💖-Michelle
love the pocket prayer quilt & the heart is soooooo awesome. God Bless you DJ
Thank you! So glad you like these! - Morgan
I have used this idea to make a larger heart to use as a luggage tag for my suitcase. I just added a tie up the top before sandwiching the top and back, so I can to secure to my suitcase. Thank you for a beautiful project
What a great suggestion! We're happy this project has inspired you. Thank you for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
