these are beautiful. i've been looking for something to send to the familes and fellow students of the Conn. shootings, and I believe this is what i will make, as well as children in my own area for the needy kids. I make scarves and hats and warm clothing for the needy kids here, and these will be a wonderful thing for them to have as their own as well. thank you!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of a prayer cloth, what is it used for?
ReplyDeleteI really love this design!!! And not just for kids. I think it is perfect for everyone. And I have some little charms I think I will put on them. Thanks so much for the pattern.
