Nice to know ...

To Jingle no it doesn't matter if you are Catholic or not. Prayer is for everyone and to know we have a Saint for quilters is awesome I know for myself I need all the help I can get and often ask for prayer not only from the Saints but from my friends too. Enjoy now I am going to go see if my son can get me a wooden plaque like this from his local church which just happens to be St. Rose of Lima Church. Thanks for sharing the post with us jcrow. I live in NM and can say that your niece probably had the most glorious time in Santa Fe.

Great to know we have our very own saint! Beautiful plaque!

I need all the help I can get and I'll accept it from anywhere!
peace

I'm glad to hear about St. Rose of Lima. I was in Lima in October, and saw more churches than you would believe, but never heard that St. Rose was the patron of quilters. We can make use of her help.

And with all due respect, though I love St. Rose of Lima, here are some lesser known saints the "quilter's fixes" they oversee...

I love the idea that we have a patron Saint for quilters and needleworkers!!! Awesome!! I too would love to find this in my local Catholic gift shop! Guess I'll google it and see if it's available online.. just in case!! Thanks sew much for posting this!!

I just googled Patron Saints for Needleworkers and came up with yet another.. St Clare Patron Saint of Embroiderers... guess we need a lot of help from above... I know I sure do! lol

Seventeen years of Catholic school and I did not know this about St Rose of Lima. I do remember she had roses that fell out of her cape. Thanks for the info!

That is AWESOME...am letting all my quilting friends know.....
