Two Prayer Quilts

Two quilts by two quilters, made with love, prayers and well wishes.

Quilt Info #1:

Maker: Lynn

Fabrics: Simply Cozy by Zen Chic

Pattern: Margot by GE Designs

Size: 60" x 75"

Batting: Quilter's Dream 80/20

Thread: Glide--Graphite

Pantograph: Amoebas Gone Wild ⤵️ from Urban Elementz

If you follow my blog, this quilt will look familiar. This is Lynn's "Margot quilt" from the October 18th GE Designs one day retreat! Lynn and I chose the same fabrics, Simply Cozy by Zen Chic, and the same alternative layout! You can see mine here.

Lynn backed her quilt in Minkee! And since this quilt is going to a guy, a meander quilting design seems just right. It is a prayer quilt, of sorts, as he is going through some medical difficulties.

This will make a wonderful gift quilt, soft and warm for the coming midwest winter, filled with love and prayers!

Quilt Info #2:

Maker: Susan

Size: 50" x 64"

Batting: Quilter's Dream Cotton Deluxe

Thread: Glide--Smoke

Pantograph: Cupid ⤵️ from Urban Elementz

Susan requested grey thread (it blends with everything, doesn't it!) and heart quilting. ⤴️⤵️ "Cupid" is a sweet pantograph that works well for adult quilts as well as children's quilts.

I was trying to decide what this type of quilt would be called and I came across several phrases: comfort quilt, hugs quilt, healing quilt and prayer quilt. This quilt is for Susan's friend who is going through medical difficulties. I love this poem, "Friends are like Quilts", that Susan included!⤵️

A very simple but clever idea for a prayer quilt--they gave out 12 1/2" white squares to everyone to write a message, poem or prayer on, and sashed and border the squares with one fun fabric. Back it with Minkee and it makes a super cuddly, meaningful prayer quilt!

Nice job, quilters!!! Great inspiration. Prayers for each of these quilt recipients.

Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy
