Well, almost... I forgot that I still want to add a small label.
A few weeks ago, we learned that the wife of one of the members of the Gospel Trio that I made quilts for a year ago is battling cancer - again - and I decided that I wanted to make her a 'prayer shawl'.
When I went on line to try and find a pattern for a prayer shawl, I was directed to youtube.com and a pretty simple pattern that the designer calls a 'quilted hug'. It takes a jelly roll and a two yard cut of polar fleece.
I went to check out what was available at our local Wal-mart. I didn't find a complete jelly roll, but did find packets of half jelly rolls so I bought two. I went back at a later date for the fleece; I'm not sure it's polar but it's a nice feeling fleece either way.
Anyway... here's a photo of the completed 'quilted hug'.
Now, to figure out how to wrap it for shipping after I get the label attached.
Next up is making this funny looking vest for my oldest daughter. I thought at the time it would be great for her to use when she's out purchasing items for and to wear while working in her booth at a local antique mall, but it looks like she and her husband will be moving from Texas to Wisconsin after the new year and I don't know if she'll be opening up a booth in their new place or not. Oh well, she's getting it anyway lol.
Take care....
Stay warm....

Hand written prayer sewn onto inner left pocket
Label identifying who(m) it was made for and by who(m) -- I never learned the difference. The inner right pocket is to the left of the label.
I love your idea for the prayer shawl! It will definitely be a quilty hug!
