NEW ARRIVAL: Bible Quilt Note Cards!
Do you ever go to the store to get a card for a friend and can't find one that has a personal message you like?
How about creating your own and having it already formatted for you to add scripture and some colorful embellishments, then have room inside to write your personal message?
