Bible Quilt Sample Pages

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.
