mlsa3 715 Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Attached are a few pictures of my latest quilt. It's a green Jacob's Ladder Prayer Quilt. I'm a volunteer with the Pasadena Police Department and one of our Sargent's wife has cancer and had surgery two weeks before Christmas and is under going radiation....we had a meeting last night and about 10 - 12 people stopped by and prayed over the quilt for the lady...we presented it to the Sargent this morning and he was so appreciative. He said his wife would love it and he just kept telling me how much he appreciated it and how much his family appreciated it. That's why I quilt. To put a smile and hope on people's faces knowing that when they see the quilt they will know people are praying for them.

LibbyG 1,020 Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 David, bless you. That's such a wonderful idea having everyone pray over the quilt. With all the negativity in the country right now, it's nice to see someone thinking of others. Seeing the joy in someone's eyes is priceless. Thank you for reminding us why we love to quilt.
