Thanks :) I’m still not entirely sure about the spacing on the sides of the spine, but it is enabling the book to function well, so maybe it is correct????

The cloth was comercially produced bookcloth, and I used my teflon folder that DH bought me the other Christmas on it. WHich worked fine. I want to get the box maker tool in the same material, like Kiley has.

Will do my best to get a photo of the head band up for monday.

Hugs

Billie :)

Thanks for your encouragement :) I’ll have a go at photographing the book from above. See if I can get a picture up for monday.

Good news my trimmer arrived yesterday afternoon :) as you say it was well worth the investment. More details on Monday’s blog entry.

Hugs

Billie :)

The book looks really tidy, and I like the cloth you used. Was it commercial bookbinding cloth or did you back it yourself? Anyway, looks like good work!

I agree with dymphie and would be curious to see the headband.

Love the cloth you used, very appropriate for the fall season. Is it possible for you to share a photo of the book from ‘above’ to show the headband? It must look so nice. I made headbands with fabric on my #49, looks really cute :)

I’ve a lot to learn, but I’m encouraged by the results so far. I enjoy learning, so it will be a whole new path to explore now I have cloth.

Best wishes and thanks for your comment :)

Billie :)
