Fabric Book

I'm back in my studio after a long absence due to vacation and then illness with short hosptial stay.  I'm finally able to spend some time creating.  I recently found a tutorial for a small fabric book here.  I changed it up a bit but basically followed her instructions for the book construction.  The theme is sewing and stitches.

I used a couple of stamp sets and added items from my stash.  The purple pants are ones I made for my little sister's Barbie in the 60's.  Fabris was linen leftover from a 4-H sewing project. 

 The back is dedicated to one of my favorite's - "Quilting".

Altered Art Fabric Book

I joined a swap on Fabric in Altered Arts group for a 1 on 1 fabric book swap. These are the front and back pages of the book. I will post interior pages later. The general rules were pages 5" to 7" with at least 10 decorated pages. Theme is our choice. Mine is 6" x 6" with 12 decorated pages. They are due in mid September but I will be traveling two weeks in August and we have a cruise scheduled in September. I am trying to keep ahead in my swaps so I finished my book yesterday. Will post more pics later.

My theme is summer. I purchased a summer themed fabric page with preprinted images at Mystic Paper. I also purchased a few sheets of Graphic 45 Botanicabella Collection paper and a cute little Birds & Botanicals journal book at the shop. I used fabric and embellishments from my stash. I am very pleased with the little book. Hope my partner Debi likes it.
