The front of my cover. I appliquéd the tree to the
background and added detached chain stitch leaves. The edge is couched with
knitting yarn. I used the same yarn to knit the spine of my book.
The pages are made by members of Stitchin Fingers for the 2012 book page swap. Page 1 is made by Helen in South Africa.
Page 2 is made by Frances in Australia.
Page 3 is made by Teresa in Australia. At the left you can see the pocket with the notes at the backside of the page made by Frances.
Page 4 is made by Trillian in Germany.
Page 5 is made by Vicky in Australia.
The inside of the back cover has a pocket with all
letters and cards that accompanied the pages.
You can see me flipping through the pages of my
book here.

Super mooi zeg! het kaft is prachtig, de inhoud ook zeer de moeite waard en wat een slim idee om een zakje erin te maken voor de kaarten.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat a beautiful team work. Everyone has used colours to a great effect.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI didn't realise that you had appliquéd the tree to the landscape fabric on the cover - I thought it was embroidered directly.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt's a beautiful book. I've always wondered what people did with the things that they swapped and I think that you've put the pages together beautifully in a way that will keep everything safe but still visible. I love that you've included the letters and cards too.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis is really lovely! A book seems a wonderful way to save swaps.
