Journal Covers

In early December, I picked up a copy of Quilting Arts Gifts, which is full of great relatively quick gift ideas.

I want to make nearly everything in it! I used one of the patterns from the magazine to make these quilted journal covers that my kids had admired. They picked out the fabrics and thread and the subjects of the embroidered designs.

Taylor's has gold thread.

Matthew's has bright orange thread.

This was a fun project and we were all happy with the way they turned out! :)

It was my first time using fusible batting and I really liked it. The kids both got Kindles for Christmas and my daughter needs to take hers to school, but doesn't have a case for it yet, so I'm planning to use some of the leftover fusible batting to make cases for them this week.
