Product Description
For countless generations, patchwork quilts have been a visible act of love. Pieced together from bits and pieces of material, they represent the handiwork and devotion of the quilter and a deep and comforting connection with the person theyre presented to. In the Prayers and Squares Ministry, though, the quilt has become something morea visible act of prayer. Its made not just with artistry but with purpose; not just with fabric but with prayer. From the time the fabric is purchased to the time the finished quilt is given away, a prayer quilt is prayed over by scores of people, from the person who cuts the fabric to the person who inserts the ties. And most importantly when the quilt is completed, its placed before a congregation and every member is invited to bind a tie and say a prayer for the person it will ultimately comfort. A quilt is a prayer quilt because prayers are part of its fabric. Begun in California in 1992, Prayers and Squares now has some 200 chapters throughout the United States, Australia, and Canada, representing dozens of denominations and faiths. Fabric of Faith is the story of this ministry. It chronicles the amazing ways Prayers and Squares has touched lives and hearts around the world. It offers directions and patterns for making quilts and starting a parish or community chapter. And it provides a selection of prayers, written from many faith traditions, to offer with each complete quilt.

This book is very well written -- has wonderful pictures -- and is full of information for anyone interested in starting a prayer quilt ministry. I loved the stories of individual quilts and their recipients! A good read, even if you aren't interested in making prayer quilts.

As each stitch is worked in the creation of a quilt for one in need, prayers are lifted up to the Lord. This guide has many wonderful examples of the Lord's grace as we use our hands and time to care for others.
