Covered Notebooks

On Wednesday I quilt/sew with some ladies ... we meet at St. Margaret Mary Parish Hall. We're not a quild, club, no rules, no dues ...... just friends getting together to quilt/sew and chat. We go on shop hops and out to lunch. It's a fun time every week.

The pattern is in the Fons and Porter magazine (see photo on the right), or you can order their kit Winter 2007, Easy Quilts. If you can't find the magazine locally go to amazon and order it.


I worked last week getting them ready ..... much to my disappointment we didn't meet today because we got lots of (surprise) snow. I have a few more to make as soon as I get more ribbon. Each notebook uses a different fabric and quilting motiff .... I quilted the fabrics on my long arm. Oh and remember all that batting I busted ..... I used a 5 yard length in this project. I did alter the pattern alittle to better suit my style of work. I'm very pleased with the outcome and they sure make nice, quick gifts.




I wanted to make each something small for the New Year to use throughout the year .... notebooks with quilted covers.
