Description

On a Facebook live I made eight quick and easy pocket cards and challenged my viewers to make and post one over in my Facebook group - the Back Porch Stampers. Over 200 pocket cards. Have been posted - how amazing is that!!!

Then Jjlie Heitz, a team member and friend, called with an idea.  "The moment I stamped “sending healing hugs” my heart felt something. A quilt, a hug and I thought “this quilt could be the hug someone needs during these Times”. Then my mind started racing and I had to contact Karen with an idea that was put on my heart. “Would you be interested in collaborating with me on Project Pocket Quilt?” What if we could encourage our communities to send a Pocket Quilt to those we know who could use a hug?

Karen said “yes!” and so here we are! We worked out the details, came up with a plan and now we need YOU! We may not be giving hugs in the way we are accustomed to but we can send a card because “a card is just a hug with a fold down the middle”. Now add a quilt and we can really bring some comfort! We did a live together where we shared the concept and Julie shared three easy patterns for making a quilt card.

 We have several stories to share about pocket quilt cards and who they were made for.  Louise shared how she wrote a prayer of healing on the back of the quilt.  She asked her friend to take this card with her to the hospital and stand it upon her bed stand so she can see it as she recovers  and know that she was being prayed for. Then Jane suggested using the idea of the prayer shawls and calling it a prayer shawl quilt.  And then, Susan Boboch share the prayer she adapted to put on the back of these cards: May the grace of God be upon you, warming, comforting, enfolding, embracing, and sustaining you in good times as well as in difficult times.  This prayer has been prayed while the pieces have been put together.
