Since I didn't have to work today, I spent some time in my craft room. I spied some fabric in my stash that was begging to be used, so I spent a handful of hours putting together a few of quilted journals. What fun I had!
Some time ago, I saw a cute project on the Moda site that featured a row of quilted squares paired with linen to create a book cover. I thought I'd try it out. Pretty cute, if you ask me!
In addition to the cowgirl journal, I also made two other journals that were nearly identical. Instead of a row of squares like on the cowgirl journal, I chose to use a strip of cute whimsical floral material, and linen. This journal is posted in my etsy shop, if you're interested.
For added interest, I did some piecing of the linen on the cover, and added a lot more rows of quilting. I like the effect!
Hmm... I wonder what else I could make... the night is still young!
OHOHOHOHOHOH! Love these! The cowgirl one just rocks! Do they just slip over the book? Is there anything you can't do Anna?lol

Mother has a "care package" on the way down. Some rather spectacular stuff too! I like the cowboy print and the bandana fabric fits right in. Foggy and rain love that Curling sport! Olympics Awsome!
