~ My Quilted Patchwork Journal ~

  I followed a nine part  tutorial by Marianne Kensington and had fun creating this quilted patchwork journal.


I followed a tutorial to learn to make the crochet flowers which I have decorated it with.


I made a pocket inside.


I stitched the signatures in using  pamphlet stitch and used a lot of 'precious junk" to fill it.


I did a lot of rough machine stitching on my pages and left loose threads because I like the 'rustic' look.



This was a fun project to do and thanks to Marianne for the great tutorial.




Thanks for dropping by my blog.
