Women of the Word Bible Quilt® Journal: Puah & Shiphrah

In the Bible we read about women who may only have a brief mention yet their acts of courage impact so many. Sometimes only a couple names are identified to represent a larger group of women, such as midwives to the Hebrews.


Let's look at two midwives, Puah and Shiprah and create a page in the "Women of the Word" Bible Quilt Journal.


Puah and Shiphrah


These women were performing their role as midwives as part of their routine daily lives when they made a critical decision to allow babies to be delivered against the king's orders.

For this page I printed the Susannah template on yellow cardstock and used some stickers from the Beautiful Good News etsy shop.

When I first started doing BQ pages on female characters, I made individualized tabs as I did each one.. I thought I'd like to continue exploring other women of the Bible in-depth and that some of you BQ Community members might be doing this also.

I was inspired to make a set of tabs to use as I create BQ pages on Women of the Bible.


Whether you're attending a Bible study which is focused on a character or a book of the Bible or you're doing an independent study, these tabs can provide you with a quick way to categorize your journal.


Attach these directly to your BQ page or use washi tape to add it to a page protector if you're using a 3-ring binder.


For loose BQJ pages, I often slip them into page protectors until I determine which BQ journal they're going in. By placing them into a 3-ring binder, that gives me ultimate flexibility moving pages around until I've determined the sequence I'd like to use for these character highlight summaries in my Bible Quilt Journal.


Another option is to use a Happy planner punch system and build your journal over time.
