A few months ago I
started making the cover for my altered book Rooie. I was inspired by Japanese
boro. First I stitched the name on a scrap of Aida.
Then I made a nice
composition with red fabric scraps.
After stitching part of these
scraps I could add the label with Holbein stitch, Sunday Stitch School number 30.
I used running stitch and
cross stitch for the boro work in DMC special dentelle 80.
The cover is finished, I
only have to glue it to the cover of my altered book to have a finish!
A very nice book cover, the Holbein stitch is really good for attaching labels!
