I belong to an online quilting group (Picking Up Threads)and one of our activities is to make a cover for a journal.
I had covered an A4 journal with some crazy patchwork, purple of course, (my favourite colour) and have decided to make a large folder to keep all my sketches and patterns in. I got a sheet of cardboard and folded it in half then trimmed it to a more suitable size - 31.5cm x 41cm (12 1/2" x 16". I will use a piece of felt as a base to work on because I want to 'felt' onto it some silk fibres and add some dimension to it by making some gum leaves from silk fibres pressed between sheets of Romeo (a cold water soluble sheet) and then covered with free motion embroidery.
