For those of us who love to quilt, every quilt we make for family and friends is an act of love. With every stitch, we are thinking about the person who will receive the quilt.

Prayer shawls originally were shawls that were knitted or crocheted, but quilters want to share their talent with those…

I just finished a Quilted Hug for my Quilt Guild's service project. The fabric was a prequilted piece that I had bought for some project that I now can't remember. But it has found a good home as a Quilted Hug. I thought the placket would be hard to make, but it wasn't bad at all.

Also a very helpful YouTube video here…
