A Month of Bookbinding

After spending more than a year buried in quilting projects I decided to switch gears and catch up on a pile of unfinished bookbinding projects.

These are pocket size notebooks with hand painted canvas covers and several different types of  papers for pages.







And a few mini notebooks with painted canvas covers.
 




 A pile of mini long stitch leather books.


I spent some time learning how to do a French Link bookbinding stitch in different sizes using some heavy drawing paper.






And made a couple map paper junk books just for the fun of it, also with painted canvas covers.










Finally I had a couple more leather projects that were a little larger to finish and I wanted to do something different for the binding so I tried this neat criss-cross stitch. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, I just had to map it out on paper and in my head before I started.









Thanks for reading.
