Mentioned in the book of Acts, she is regarded as the first documented convert to Christianity in Europe.

Bible Quilting the Story of Lydia

Lydia, page in progress, in my Women of the Word BQ Journal

When I attended a Bible study at a local church focusing on New Testament women, I cut apart some of the provided scripture passages and glued them onto my BQ page to save space for note-taking. I also cute these Lydia tabs out to attach back-to-back on the edge of the page.

Notes on Lydia in my Women of the Word BQ Journal

My husband and I were fortunate to be able to visit the Baptistry of St Lydia on a group tour a few years ago.

I converted the videoclip to a QR code, so it's accessible when I review the page.

This shows how you can truly personalize your BQ journal based on your own experiences, incorporating whatever resources you have available.

Have a woman in the Bible that you've been curious to learn more about?

I'm using a Happy planner punch system to build my Women of the Word BQ journal gradually. This provides me with flexibility to add pages as I hear about particular women more in-depth through podcasts or Bible studies.
