Then I attached the lining and wadding to the piece of patchwork. With the right sides together I stitched along three sides and then turned the piece in the right way ( a bit like a pillow case).
This is how it looks on the outside at present. Still quite a lot of embellishment needed. Once that is done I will hand stitch the open end and add some felt for the leaves of the book.
I am hoping to finish this tomorrow so I can start on something else.

Wow this looks good Dian....love the colours...but im worrying now...lol....im making a heart nothing to big but should have i have put batting at the back of it? x
This is going to be great Dian. I have to say, the colours are so different to those I've seen you use............ I am sure you will put it to good use when it's finished. I'm already thinking I should re-house some of my 400+ needles, instead of leaving them in the shabby old thing that passes as 'my needlecase' [it's an embarrassment to be honest]. Good luck with this.
