“K” is for...

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.

I was inspired by some of my international friends to make more of the Bible Quilt products accessible to those of you joining in long-distance. 😊 So...I've added a printable version of the ABC Bible Quilt journal into the online shop . I'm experimenting with the size being 8.5 x 11 so it's more manageable to print and not have to trim down to the typical 7 x 10 BQ journal size. Once you've got it printed, you can hole-punch the set (minus the tabs and ABC flip cards) to put into a -ring binder. Or, you could take the printed set to a local print shop and have it bound with the spiral binding of your choice. We'll see how this goes! If you choose this option, please let me know how it works for you!

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.
