Farewell to 2020
Some would say "good riddance" to this pandemic year of 2020. I'm settling for "farewell." In many ways we're all ready to bring this crazy year to a close, hoping for a brighter year in 2021. I think it's helpful to reflect on what we've learned during this rather unique year. My "word for the year" was OPEN. In a year in which our country literally SHUT DOWN and had a widespread closure of businesses and schools, the irony of my chosen word was not lost on me! Remember back

Titles and stickers
We've got a great line-up of monthly topics to explore throughout 2021 together! I've made up some lists of variations of our theme words that I plan to use throughout my Monthly Bible Quilt Journal, so I thought I'd share some ideas with you, too. You can simply use this printable to "cut and paste" the topics in your BQ journal. Or you can make your own stickers! Put a full sheet shipping label in your printer and create a whole page of title stickers to use in your Monthly

Bible Quilting + Bible Journaling = Saturation in the Word
Bible Quilting brings verses together on a journal page, showing how themes weave throughout the whole Bible. We can "stitch" New Testament and Old Testament verses to connect them in an innovative way that offers us fresh perspectives. Bible Quilt® journaling allows us to soak up an individual verse in its surrounding context, then slow ourselves down to illustrate it in our own unique style, reflecting on the scripture's deeper meaning in our current circumstances. I'm buil

When you gift...
The holidays will be upon us soon and we'll all be adapting our gatherings a little differently this year. Maybe we won't be able to gather in person as much, but we can still send meaningful gifts and personalize them for the our loved ones. Some ideas for you! When you gift the original Bible Quilt Journal, you can add a name in the banner on the first template page and add some color-coordinated washi tape. This will brighten up the page and also show how to use embellishm
