Monthly Bible Quilt Journaling & Calendar Crew

BQ Calendar

See this post for how I turned a mistake into inspiration.

You may like the idea of daily scripture writing on a certain topics, but may not know how to implement such a goal. Our community did this for several years and we've got curated references on a variety of topics.

Check out this post for an overview:

365 verses written by hand and tucked into our hearts! These monthly pages are wonderful resources anytime you need encouragement.

You could also adopt the monthly reference lists as a resource for your 2026 BQ Calendar!

Many Bible Quilters often have the inclination to share Bible Quilting with friends, but aren't always sure if friends are "ready" to commit to a full BQ journal.

We've found that gifting a BQ Calendar is an easy way to share the joy of Bible Quilting techniques.

The calendar offers a creative way to wrangle one's schedule while at the same time providing loose structure to practice Bible Quilting on a new template design each month.

You could even share a photo of your calendar page as an example of how your'e selecting your scriptures and decorating yours each month. (a little gentle accountability and connection during the year 😉)

Tis the season for all things pumpkin....

Good news to share re: planning for next year: the 2026 BQ Calendar is in the design phase, being tweaked in preparation to go to print soon.

🌞☀️ Welcome to June and the kickoff to our summer months of fun in the sun! ☀️🌞

When you consider your devotional goals for this month, what comes to mind?

When I think of sunny days, I often think about how we're supposed to shine our light for Jesus. It reminded me of this Shine page my Mom started and never got around to finishing before she passed away. It's never too late to start being a light for Jesus - - - and we'll never be finished either.

Just like many of our pages and projects, we are a work in progress. Shine on, friends!

Light of God could be another topic to pursue if you haven't done it yet.

If you've got a 2025 BQ Calendar, this group is for you!

I'll be sharing my completed calendar pages for each month and invite you to share yours, too. Since most of the calendar designs are typically also formatted as printable templates, this provides others with ideas re: how to create with these particular designs.

No foolin' - - - April is here with all its weather trickery!

Happy New Year!!

Whether you had an animated time of celebration or were cozy in your jammies, the New Year is here and feels open with possibilities.

As you can see, I was definitely on Team Jammies!

I'm carving out some time today to reflect on the year ahead, considering Bible reading plans and devotionals. I'm kickstarting with my 2025 BQ Calendar.

The Christmas decor is out and the festivities have begun!

The Psalms are always a great resource for calendar pages. This excerpt from Psalm 62 fit the spacing of this template just right!
