For my dear friend, Heather, I made a journal cover using scraps of blue fabric. I dove into the stash of fabric samples from my thrifty adventures and included pieces from some of my own personal projects.
Here's a look at the complete outside of the cover, laid flat,
and here's the inside of the cover.
These quilted covers are such a simple and pleasing way to dress up a plain journal. Did I mention that they are also a fun way to use up scraps? I like to think they also make nice gifts. ;o)
you are going to have to show me how to make these...on Tuesday
ReplyDeleteVery nice I must say, Great idea too, I have done some little notebooks similar to this and have included a little loop for a pen ! Just a thought...
ReplyDeleteThey DO make nice gifts! And last night I was still thinking about whether I should use it as a gratitude journal or a gardening/preserving/wildcrafting record book and then I had the thought...why not both? I'm usually especially grateful when I am gardening, preserving and wildcrafting so why not use it for my gratitude lists mixed in amongst my records of preserving recipes and harvest records. Thank you for such a thoughtful gift (and in the colours I love!).
ReplyDeleteLook at all those tiny bits of fabric.... you amaze me with your scrappy-quilt projects. What a lovely gift.
