November 2025, Newsletter #1

I totally forgot to snag a photo this morning, but we had some lovely conversation and each made progress on a variety of journal pages.

I completed a couple pages in my son's BQ journal, gradually getting through the Fruit of the Spirit section.

I've mentioned before that I like to use photos on some of the pages in my sons' journals because it adds a personal touch.... plus it uses up some of the loose pictures floating around in memorabilia bins.

How is YOUR progress going these days?

It was good to gather around the table and make some progress on our pages this morning!

I worked on a couple pages in my son's journal.

Adding photos to my sons' journals is a way I like to personalize them as their future keepsakes.

Have you considered inviting a friend to join you

for some Bible Quilting time?

Recently I came across this Friendship page in one of my earliest BQ journals. It has a collection of verses on it from a variety of family and friends.

I had passed my journal around the table, inviting women and girls to share a favorite verse and sign their name.

Woohoo! I feel like I'm "2 for 2" getting a photo at our summer sessions!

It was an energetic reunion of some of our regulars and lifelong friends, chatting and catching up on life events and prayer requests.

I pulled out my gelato pastels to make a soft background for my August calendar page while others planned for their upcoming Community Bible Study topic this year. Discussion flowed about journaling Bibles and color-coded highlighting systems. We even integrated some scrapbook items to incorporate photos and trip souvenirs for a couple gals.

I love the variety of intersecting ideas and how the Lord brings us together through His Word as we find common ground in life experiences. It's never the same group twice!

We had a mix of newbies and "seasoned" Bible Quilters, both locals and some new friends visiting from New Hampshire. 😊

As always, we found common ground and enjoyed creative time in the Word.

I love that we can all be working on different topics in a variety of journals while we chat about life events and share how God has demonstrated His blessings.
