Jo Jo...thank you so much for lovely remarks about my quilt:o))
The altered book...l have just sent grandsons off in the post, but here is one before l started. l bought about 6 of these in a charity shop, they measure 3 1/4" sq and l just covered them with coloured paper, then added photo's and decorated them with sequins, glitter, etc, nothing special but the g/children love them. Grandaughter looks through and makes up a story:o) As they are made of card you can't close them once finished. l have another to make for grandaughter which will take me an age knowing me, will show you when finished...lol
The quilt has been a very slow process (18mths...grr), lam now on the middle larger panel and l'm pleased so far, will send a photo when done!

Hi Jude, it is an interesting concept and I have seen how to do it in magazines. They usually make a fastener for the book when finished with ribbon to tie or something. We will look forward to seeine the next one when you have finished it. You could always take a photo of the other one when you visit your Grandchildren Lol!!!!
ReplyDeleteHad'nt thought about a fastener, but the 2 littlies would'nt do it up, the books are always in use, which is nice.
ReplyDeleteMmm l could do could'nt ? maybe l'll make the other one and make it nicer....lol
Have you found a way yet to get peeps to send their own photo's other than to you. l did'nt get hold of Heather (Hevs), email was returned and no reply to text:o(
