| Using dot-to-dot quilting |
A friend from the quilt guild gave me several bags of scraps. Some were much more than scraps since she decided to get rid of fabric that she would never use.
Well, I might not use those fabrics either, but for this project, I used the quilt panel fabric on the back and sewed the front of the journal cover using the bobbin thread.
I really like the effect of the dot-to-dot quilting without really having the fabric delineate the blocks. Once again I used variegated thread in the bobbin.

This fun coffee fabric has been FMQ. Now to make the Coffee Lover's journal cover.
 |
| Aren't these great? If they look familiar it's because I've made a few hexies with similar fabric |
 |
| The blue-green polka dots will look great as a background fabric |
An update (February 9, 2020): My Coffee Lover's journal cover is finished. I'd rather update this post than write up another one, so here it is!

We've had some great projects linked up last time - thanks so much for joining us. I'd like to give a special mention to Muv of Lizzie Lenard Vintage Sewing, my Free Motion Mavericks partner. Her free motion quilted piece, A Lane in May was undeniably frustrating to make, but I believe that it was ultimately a wonderful project. 😊 If you haven't seen it yet, go check it out.
Hello Andrée, Thanks for featuring my tree! Should have the picture on the wall this weekend...
ReplyDeleteLove your book theme this week. The colourful cover for your agenda is gorgeous!
Love, Muv
Thanks Muv, it really is a wonderful tree :-) I'm looking forward to seeing the finished, framed piece on your wall. Have a great weekend.
DeleteI love the journal covers. What a great use for those fabrics! Thanks for linking up to What I Made Monday.
ReplyDeleteThanks Becca. They're so much fun to make!
DeleteWow what a nice friend. You are getting pretty good at the journal covers. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise. I'm having a lot of fun making them since they can all be so different!
DeleteEach journal cover is a work of art! I must make some of these. Actually I could make a planner cover since I don’t journal anymore. Glad to see someone else forgets to link up OMG. Haha Thanks for looking this up with DrEAMi!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra. I just love how one formula can be so different depending on the fabric. I'm making an amazing one for my BF with Japanese fabric. Can't wait to finish it! Thanks for hosting DrEAMi! I often come to link up too late for that one too!
