A little something

Well it was small and not quite a quilt or wall hanging - a notebook cover in fact but it was at least creative. I quilted a piece of a dye wipe up cloth in a random pattern, added small strips of dyed fabrics cut with my wavy cutter (I needed an excuse to use the blade) and top stitched around the edges in a nice thick threat which gave it a very rustic look. I am quite pleased with the effect and have left it so that I can slip if off the notebook. I am hoping that over time the strips of fabric will fray and give a more worn look.

All in all I was pleased with what I had accomplished, so much so that I have some more notebooks that I think I will do and keep them for presents.
