Journal Covers......Play Day

A Day of Play....... at Virginia's house

We are making Journal Covers

Choose your fabrics for the cover and the lining

Draw a design to decorate the cover

We are working with pre-fused fabric

Cut out the pre-fused design

Fuse the design to the cover of your journal

The opening in the middle of the green lining fabric

 is where we turned the cover right side out...

The opening is fused together.

It is almost invisible.

It will not be visible when the journal is inside.

Slide your journal into the fabric cover...

and admire!

We will be teaching this as a class next month.

Virginia used her hand dyes to create these journal covers

Thank you all for your well wishes for Gunnr...

He sends you lots of happy wags with his tiny tail.

Gunner had surgery last week to remove tumors...

He is resting comfortably with his Buffalo Quilt and Pillow

and his rubber toys.

P.S.

Yes, Gunnr does look like a patchwork quilt with all the shaved sections on his body. Sorry I didn't mention it in my original post, but he has been having surgeries the last 2 weeks to remove tumors. The surgeons are pleased with the results and we are hoping for the best. As always, Gunnr is wagging his little tail and always ready to be involved in everything we are doing.
Many Thanks for your concerns and well wishes. 

My Best To You!
Hugs from LuAnn and Gunnr

Fabric Bowls, Friends and FUN!

We are spending the day at the Quilting Palace

Fabric Wrapped Bowls

I baked a pie...

Cooked up a pot of stew...

and invited a friend over to make fabric bowls...

Celia is a quick study and began wrapping

clothesline cord for her bowl...

Gunnr is also at the Palace today.

He enjoys showing off the fabric bowls!

Gunnr is also helping the construction crew

with a remodel job in the back of the house.

Celia is wrapping her cord with earthy tones...

I am going with BOLD and BRIGHT fabrics...

I strip out my fabrics and store them by color in bags.

I keep the bags in wash tubs to transport them.

Celia has the base of her bowl completed...

This is her first fabric bowl and she is having FUN!

Time for a lunch break in the Palace kitchen.

The little frig on the right is chilling my fabric dyes.

Invite your friend over for a day of FUN!
