Make a Quilted Journal Cover
Whether you’re using the journal for literary pursuits or for recording your quilting endeavors, those with quilted covers (and backs) are lovely. You can use them yourself or give as gifts.
Heather, at A Creative Journal, has written an informative post, Making Your Own Journal Covers. She gives close to a dozen resources where you’ll find tutorials and information about materials to use.
One I found particularly interesting is How to Crazy Quilt which Heather found at DIYnamite: let’s create.
(And thanks, Heather, for giving me credit for inspiring you to write about journal covers!)

No worries, Mary Emma. I enjoy looking at the gorgeous things people do with their journals. Thank you. ;-)

I have a weakness for journals and notebooks, as well as pens. I don’t have as much time as I’d like to make spectacular covers. I should start with some simple ones. People stop and take notice and ask questions when they see someone carrying or using a journal with lovely cover.
