CHRISTMAS IN JULY WORKS

 
Here is the title cover
for my 
Christmas Fabric [soft] Journal..
I love the little "snowdrifts"
on the lettering 💝

and
I just pinned together the 
"Christmas Wreath" page
for this soft Journal.

There is the wreath on the door--
and the scrap of Jason Yenter
fabric also wreathes the door
itself...;)))

So a double wreath...

I have to decide how to
embellish this one
as the fabric  
seems enough by itself....

The doorway is 
the first page and 
the entry into my Christmas
Fabric journal...

********************
Here is the finished
"Winter Fabric Journal"
[hard cover book]
page for the  
"Wreath" prompt
↓↓↓↓

I did some kantha stitchery
on the little Winter vignettes
(top L and bottom R),
and made a little suffolk puff
(aka yo-yo)--

and added a 
scrap of lace on the bottom...

The wreath is a ruched piece of 
sari silk tied down with
my Grand-mere's old
buttons and smaller
buttons from 
my good friend
Lizzy...
[who so kindly sent them to me--
thanks so much;)))]

I am (this time around)
wanting to keep my pages less
busy --trying to use
the fabrics themselves to
set the scenes....

********************
I have as yet not begun my "Pears"
hand quilting as I decided that the
cotton thread would be 
too hard on my hands;
and I have ordered some 
yellow hand quilting thread
online...
But it is all pin-basted and
ready to go;)))

T G I F everyone..

Stay cool and safe
