Beth Moore; The Book of Daniel

Since early January I have been part of the Ruby Tuesday Women's group at North Ridge Community Church. We have begun a study of the book of Daniel; a Beth Moore Study. My journal page for March will most likely come from this study. Beth is enlightening, thought provoking and God inspired. If you yearn for a down to earth "women's" connection with God and his word, check her out at http://www.lproof.org/Daniel is an intense collection of scripture that holds many secrets to biblical history, life and prophesy. I am so fortunate to be a ticket holder on this ride.

February Journal Quilt "Proverbs 3:13 Wisdom

February's quilt page went together like a snap. Randy at North Ridge Church http://www.northridge.org/ read from Proverbs in his "2007 Bring it On" sermon; preparing for unforeseen tragedy, we must trust and know the truth in God's plan. I really liked Proverbs, so the next week I read more. Imagine finding answers to the problems we face in 2007 deep within the books written so many years ago. Wisdom is God's gift to us, he gives it only to those who earnestly seek it. This month, I will be the SEEKER.

Proverbs 3:13-16
Blessed is the man who finds wisdom,
the man who gains understanding.
for she is more profitable than silver
and yields better returns than gold.
She is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her.
Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.

The quilt page is made of batik and hand dyed fabrics and embellished with paper letters attached with beads, metal tags that spell out HONOR on her left hand and fish,frog and shell embellishment's in her right hand. A very satisfying project.

January "Fishers of Men" Journal Quilt

So, I'm a blogger now. Who would have thought? January flew by; great times with friends,family and RVing in Arizona. My theme for this years Journal Quilt is "12 Months of Scripture". January's quilt developed from the book of Matthew; "Come follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19. Fishers of men, interesting how this scripture keeps popping up in my life. This summer, Steve, our pastor at Driftwood http://www.driftwoodcc.org/used this scripture in one of his sermons. As I kid, I always liked the story, but now as an adult I actually get it. Thanks Steve! I ask myself, am "I" able to use the right bait, my unique personality and as well, find common ground and be a fisher of men?

The quilt page is a collage of overdyed fabrics, paper and printed fish fabric. The scripture is printed on fabric, adhered to freezer paper and fed through my printer. A great project, I thoroughly enjoyed this months project.
