sewing themed, hand bound book--a little bigger one this time!

cover

Here is the book I recently finished off for the current challenge at
Blockheads--one near and dear to my heart, the challenge is:
Use Any Book Binding Technique and Some Stamping.
Well, okay, I think the official name is something like "Simple Book Binding
Techniques," but we really don't care what type of binding you use, so if you're
all into coptic and kettle binding, feel free to show and tell, by all means!

Our Lives Are Like Quilts

You can tell from the quotes it's another sewing themed book . . .

A Bed Without A Quilt

 That dreamy face--she's perfect for that quote . . .

she's from the Years Ago set (link below)

Are you tired of seeing that spool of thread in all my books yet?

Those Who Sleep Under A Quilt

You can tell I got to use lots of goodies in this one--
stamp sets:
Year Ago 
Feeling Regal
Sewing
Vintage Light And Form and Notions
more fun stuff:
Willow Walnut Ink , Lilac Walnut Ink , Cornflower Walnut Ink ,
Cherry Blossom Walnut Ink , plus gelatos in cool  and  warm colors.

Have you joined in the Blockheads book challenge yet?  If you need some easy
binding ideas, check out the tutorials.  Be sure to leave a pic and link to a 
specific post that mentions the Blockheads challenge HERE.

I really enjoy making books, and hope this technique challenge
(or the possible $25 Blockheads gift certificate!) inspires you to try 
one of your own.
