Adding Someone or Something New...

Sometimes we need to be nudged out of our comfort zone to try something new. This week I introduced a new friend to Bible Quilting and she immediately pulled out her watercolors to start her first page. whaaaat???? A while back a young Bible Quilter showed me how she was Using Watercolor Pencils & Baby Wipes to create bold color palettes on her BQ pages. Shortly thereafter I received a lovely watercolor pencil set as a gift...but didn't proceed too far with them on my own. Th

31 Days of Renewal

The March theme for our Month-by-Month Bible Quilt Journal series is... - - - Renewal - - - For most of us this is a transitional month from winter to spring. Often that means we're shaking off the sluggishness of primarily indoor activities to the re-energizing pace of the sunny outdoors. It can be a chaotic blend of both seasons, so it's a good time to focus on ways we need to renew our hearts, minds and bodies for springtime. This cheery little shamrock is part of our fam

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

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.

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
