ABC Bible Quilt Journal - Printable version

Tear out the tabs from your ABC journal. Press down on the spiral with one hand to hold it for leverage, then tear one tab sheet out at a time. Then start coloring in the letters and add whatever embellishments you'd like . Once you've got your tabs colored, then cut along the dotted line. Next fold each tab in half so you can sandwich them on either side of the page you're attaching them to. Simply glue the back of each tab, sandwiching it over the page and pressing it together. You can add a strip of wash tape over it on the page to reinforce it in place. Stagger the tabs so that you can see the next one. If you align 4 and repeat throughout the rest, then they'll even out so there's not too much bulk in any one area. - - - You're all set!! - - - Next you can set up your flip card set OR you can begin harvesting verses to add to the letter page of your choice! Intro to ABC Bible Quilt Journal video Once you get going, please share your ABC pages on the ABC Community Boards. Share your "A" page in the comments section of the "A is for..." post. Share your "B" page under the comments section of the "B is for..." post, etc. That way the letters stay organized for other readers to get ideas for a particular letter.

Think of the BQ Community tab as a forum in which to share with one another on a variety of topic boards. My hope is to create resources that we can all access and contribute too. I've laid out the structure and each of you can build upon it! For example, I've got posts on the "ABC Bible Quilt journal" for each letter of the alphabet. These will be the main entry for each letter. As you share comments or photos, enter these under the comments section. The next person that comes along to view that letter will see the main post and also be able to scroll through the comments to see some other ideas. You can view the "A" board to see the sequence of sharing in the comments. Sometimes I will add to the "meat" of the letter-of-the-week post or maybe even add a photo from a page someone has shared with me.

We all know that the Bible is full of encouragement and wisdom, but sometimes it's good to look at these truths in a new perspective. I think that's one of the fun things about Bible Quilting the #abcsofthebible. You can snatch bits and pieces of verses throughout the Bible to create a beautiful page of new ideas/terms, perhaps seeing things in new light. Here's a glimpse of some of my #ABCbiblequiltjournal pages so far: Notice that some of my pages still have space for more verses...this is an on-going process of collecting beloved verses in a unique way.
