Book Cover

Hi friends! How are you today? I hope all is well in your world. If it is not, and I know about that, well then I am praying for you.♥

I made a book cover. Never made one of those before. Well, the sewn variety. ;) I made dozens and dozens of the paper bag/grocery sack (Do you say that where you live?) book covers for the kids school books over the years. I wanted a book cover for my prayer book. I found this tutorial to help me. It was okay, but very specific to the journal size that they were using. I had a little trial and error while sizing mine up.
But you can see I kept at it. And I am very happy with it! :)
I had all the supplies in my stash. Hooray! I found pink thread that was a perfect match. And once again, this was some of Brian's Great Aunt's thread passed on to me.
Now I am back to cross stitching. My favorite subject again! tee hee! ♥

Well, I am off to get another 30 minutes of garden work done. It sure goes slow this way, but it is all I can manage anymore.

Have a fantastic day my friends!

Stitching and praying,
Vickie

    I am in total agreement--the book cover is quite lovely! Putting it on my list! It would be a great gift! Yes, I do remember making paper bag book covers for MYSELF and my kids... Some things are timeless! Hugs!
