Fabric Journal #1

For my first fabric journal I wanted to use cutter quilt scraps for the pages, so I cut a bunch of those to fit inside the cover I made.

I then stitched the pages and the cover together in layers to see if that would work as a binding method.

It worked, but due to the bulk I couldn't put as much as I'd wanted in the journal, and ended up with eight pages.

My goal with using these fabric journals is to stitch on the pages, or mount small art textiles on them (probably both.)

I even manage to christen the inside of the back cover with a splotch of dribbled tea. Oh, well -- it's the personal touch, right?

The journal fits nicely into the box, with room to spare if I want to add more textile art or emphemera in the future.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
