Notebook eleven which I made several weeks ago is one that could be used for photographs. I have used thick water colour paper for the pages. I sent some buttons to Julia at Materialised when she was looking for some last autumn and in return I was lucky to receive the silk used for this cover along with other pieces of trim and fabric. I torn the silk into strips wove it and then hand stitched it together with running stitches. The coloured oblongs are cut from a piece of fabric paper. I have used free machined embroidery heart shapes to secure the fabric paper and repeated this in in some other squares. The tie is sari ribbon.
This is a notebook that I made Sarah my niece, it was her birthday recently. I used vintage linen for the front and added buttons, yarn, silk gauze, stamps and hand embroidery.
The names that were drawn from the hat are: Suztats, Cameron and DesigNeAl. If I could have your addresses I will get the parcels of to you all. Thank you to all, it's really good having such a lovely collection of blog friends.
Hope that you have enjoyed a good St. Patrick's day. I know one person who will have, one of my sisters is fifty today. Happy Birthday to a very special person. We are all getting together at the weekend to celebrate.
