More Quilties

We are continuing with the Byhandartists Quiltie swap in November and this time there is a theme of Christmas/Winter. I used a linen-look fabric sample and placed a small piece of furry yarn along the right edge and stitched the mesh part down with 2 cut glass beads. The furry stuff with mesh is Starbella Arctic which is a knitting yarn for making ruffled scarves. I appliqued a green silk flower with the same beads and the a red flower attached that with drizzle and beaded drizzle stitches which I just learned. I am quite happy with the results, but since I have some other ideas I want to try I am not sure if this is the one I'll mail out in November, we'll see.

Tied Binding Blank Books

Here are 3 more handmade books I made I July. All the book covers are painted watercolour paper and the pages in the first book are painted mixed media paper. The second book has some printer clean-up paper for some of the pages. The fibre is place along the score line and the pages are glued together to make a double thick page. The pages are then stacked together and the fibres tied to the next set until all are joined. For the third book I wondered "what If I stitched through the pages" so I tried that and then tied the pages together as with the first 2 books, but this time only the covers are painted watercolour paper and the rest of the pages are printers clean-up paper and are not glued together.
