I love when actual quilters find out about Bible Quilting and begin their own "paper quilt" journey to coincide with their fabric quilting! Sometimes they'll contact me and we'll brainstorm some ideas to go along with their sewing group goals.
Here's a recent story from BQ community member, Christal Hood:
Wow! Dianna, I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for your idea of the 'sewing Bible Quilting page' that you shared with me a few weeks ago. You have so richly blessed myself, my quilting students and the Chief of Sar Shalom. We had been working on donation quilts for Holocaust Survivors and wounded IDF soldiers for about 8 months, and had amassed about 100 of them.
We turned then all over on to Sar Shalom last week, with your page. I had my quilting students and our pastor write in their favorite verse and sign their names too, and then we gifted it to the Sar Shalom Chief, for her personal bulletin board, with all these quilts. She loved it!!
Here's a few pics. You have my permission to share if you choose. Thanks again! I have so valued your pages in my daily Jesus Time!
Christal
Thanks to Christal for sharing this sweet story! We'll be praying over the recipients of these beautiful quilts!
Several other community members have shared some fabric quilt patterns for us to do as #biblequiltjournal templates. Some of these have been printed in the 2025 BQ Calendar and will be released as individual templates next year.
