Bible Quilt Sample Pages

For those of you who have been following along on my BQ journey, you know that I'm doing a more personalized approach for each of my son's journals.

I wrote a message alongside this fun "personality" photo of my son a while back. Then later added the strip of washi tape with word "trust."

This week I finished up the page with some additional scriptures on trust, using my flip card set.

I share this elongated process with you as a reminder that we do NOT have to complete our pages in one sitting. It's okay to add a little bit at a time here and there. Sometimes we have to be patient for the momentum to resume at a later point.

Using synonyms, like perseverance and endurance, is a simple way to generate more verses for a particular topic.

I used a simple punch to make the tab and incorporated a photo of my son during a cross country meet, a sport that definitely requires perseverance. A couple of stickers help balance out the page.

What ideas do YOU have for adding photos into your BQ journal?

Recently we had a women's event that was basically a potluck with the theme "Taste & See..."

Before the event I created this BQJ page, using a colorful photo of a charcuterie spread from our son's engagement party a few years ago. I pulled out all the food-related washi tape I had to make a colorful border around the page.

I simply incorporated it as part of table decor as a reminder for the focus of our event.

How might YOU use a BQJ illustration to infuse scripture

The other day a friend forwarded a quote from C.H. Spurgeon. It was stylized with pretty graphics, so I decided to print it out on photo paper to use on a blank page in my Monthly Bible Quilt®Journal.

I brushed the white page with some distress ink to match the look of the printed photo background.

Next I put a book-ish washi tape border on the bottom of the page to help anchor the large photo.

Sometimes I've explained Bible Quilting as "scripture scrapbooking" because it uses a lot of the same materials. It provides me with a place to tuck in some sentimental pieces of memorabilia with scriptures that are resonating with me.

Recently as I sorted through some birthday cards, I decided to incorporate one onto a blank page in my Monthly Bible Quilt Journal.

I secured it onto the page and reinforced it with washi tape, then used the same washi tape to make a bold border around the perimeter of the page.

I added a photo, jotted down a prayer and some of my devotional goals for the year, then added some scriptures to the other side.
