Prayers and Squares Prayer Quilt Ministry

Sally quilting at the 2016 Shrine Mont Weekend

October and November 2018

Prayer Quilters and Friends,

Many thanks to Carol Lawson for hosting our October meeting. We worked on prayer quilts, chatted, prayed and enjoyed a lovely tea.
Sally Sarkisian is hosting our November 2nd meeting. Please let her know if you plan to attend by calling or texting (215) 870-6793 or calling 373-0567. Ann Tebbutt is hosting our Christmas Tea on a date to be announced.
We have plenty of fabric and batting. You may use any pattern desired. Patterns, if needed, are available on the Prayers & Squares website (www.prayerquilt.org). A reminder that our fabric is stored in my storage unit. If you need or want fabric or batting, please let me know several days ahead of our next meeting. The suggested size for prayer quilts is about 45″ X 60″ to fit a crib size batting. Larger quilts are welcome also.
Seeking new members: We welcome new members to our group. Sewing skills are helpful but not required. Anyone interested in praying for those in need, as well as those who like to sew and/or quilt, should check out our group. As mentioned, basic sewing skills are nice but not required to participate in this group. If you want to learn to quilt, you can! We’re willing to teach basic quilting skills to teens and above.
Quilt Count for 2018: 6 quilts so far this year with several more about to go out soon.
Prayer and Quilt Requests: Anyone may request prayers and a quilt for someone. We welcome prayer requests. We offer quilts when they are available. We make mini quilts, including patriotic ones, and lap-size prayer quilts.
Cleaning Out and Request for donations: If you are cleaning out and have a stash of cotton fabric you no longer need or want, please consider giving it to us. We may claim to have “enough” fabric but we can always use more of it! We welcome donations of 100% cotton fabric to use for prayer quilts. If you have fabric to donate, please contact me (Bryn), as noted below or take to the church office marked for Prayers & Squares. In the past we’ve been blessed to receive very nice donated fabric, plus quilting books and patterns. Many thanks to the donors!
The 2019 Retreat at Shrine Mont: The next Prayer Quilt Retreat is scheduled for May 13-17, 2019. We’ll have two, three or four night options. More information will be available early next year.
Meetings are usually held on Friday afternoons from 1 to 5 PM: Please feel free to invite someone to join us, including friends who do not attend St. George’s Church. Please let me know what month you can host or help host a meeting.

November 2: Sally Sarkisian, 1002 Saunders Dr., Fredericksburg 22401 (see phone numbers above). We’ll be making patriotic mini quilts using flag printed fabric. Please bring your rotary cutter, ruler, sewing machine and neutral thread. We’ll have several mats we can share.

Christmas Tea: Ann Tebbutt on date to be announced.

A note about quilts: Please ask prospective recipients if we may pray for them and give them a quilt. You may ask a relative, if the individual is unable to speak for him or herself. If you give out a quilt, please let me know the person’s name, reason for giving him or her the quilt, and any other pertinent information.

Thanks for all of your efforts praying for people and making quilts!
