The last two pages of the fabric book journal are complete and ready to be sewn together.
My sister likes to take walks with her dog, so I chose one of my favorite quotes for this block:
“An early–morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.” – Henry David Thoreau
I made an applique of her dog. The tree has small yo-yos.
On the second block, I included words our mother always used to tell us: Use your God-given talents.
We would always joke about it, but I guess mom had some good advice after all.
I found a book charm and covered it with a fabric photo of one of my sister’s books from her Pig in a Wig series of five books.
My sister’s name is Emma, but we call her M.
I just noticed that the M charm is twisted in the photo.
Tomorrow, I will make a simple front and back cover.
Then, I will try to put it all together.
Your journal is looking good! And I love the Thoreau quote.
I used to teach Thoreau to my fourth grade class. One of the parents told their child that they had a hippie for a teacher. 🙂
Well, I suppose Thoreau could have been considered a hippie, but I’ll bet that’s not what they meant…
Well, we did start our day listening to Bob Marley’s, One Love, and the Beatles, Here Comes the Sun. 🙂
Very nice.
I absolutely love everything about your journals! They are works of art! 🙂
Cindy, I admire your art. A compliment from you means so much. Thank you.
Awe! Geez! You are making me blush! 🙂 Thank you! Well then I guess we must be like two peas in a pod!
