Happy Easter week!

We had so much fun and fellowship during our Craft Night!
 
This post link will give you links to the replays as well as a process video if you'd like to try one of the techniques yourself or with family members. Kids are loving it!
 
I'm enjoying the sneak peeks that Bible Quilters are sharing with me re: their pages in progress. This stained glass cross template is going to yield SO many beautiful patterns! (Thanks again, Alice!)
 
Lara is using some wood-like washi tape to create very realistic wooden crosses:

Pip shared her granddaughter, Rylee's page. Aren't those primary colors and her sweet handwriting a precious combination?

Armor of God: daily & diligently | Biblequiltjournal.comI've been exploring scriptures on spiritual warfare through a study provided by Sojo Academy this month and have enjoyed "stitching" all these great verses together in my Bible Quilt Journal as a summary resource. We probably all have some familiarity with the "Armor of God" passage in Ephesians

The days leading to Easter...Even though Spring has gotten all gussied up with her pretty frock of pastel colors, I'll miss seeing little girls twirling just to see their new dresses whoosh about them in a gauzy blur. This Easter feels different...and that's okay. The message is the same: "He has risen!"

Have you tried a BQ note card yet? Here's a sweet one that Stephanie sent to her friend, Susan, to encourage her as she starts chemo.
 
John 3:16 Note Card                   Lifting You Up in Prayer

 
Having A Ball 
 
Here's a new template just in time to gather up some scriptures to pray over your athlete or team during the spring sports season!

Using Templates Vertically
 
Last spring I experimented with some of our current templates, turning them vertically and allowing the change of perspective to boost my creativity in a new way with templates I'd already done horizontally.
 
This link has some examples of Easter pages as well as a list of other templates that you can create with oriented both ways.
 
If you prefer this orientation, take a look at the BQ Notes journal. It's formatted vertically like most standard planners.
