June bee block and some journal covers

 Two journal covers I made for my daughter and my niece.  The tutorial I used was here but I added a bookmark to each.  The first one was simply adding a ribbon after it was assembled.
 For the one using Verna, I sewed the bookmark to the wrong side of the inside cover before sewing the two together.  It might be a bit of overkill, but the Mother Goose book with the ribbon bookmark is currently getting carried around by the ribbon so I figured that sturdy was a good thing.



And here is my June bee block for Melissa.  It is based on her tutorial.   I wasn't intentional about getting the text to go in one direction until after all the component parts were assembled.  I was close.  It should hopefully make it to her on the first day of her month.  My other project, the Lynnebobsquarepants quilt, is currently waiting for me to trim too many HST.  One bee block was much faster.  I think I'll start to try to do about 25 a day to try to accomplish at least something on it every day.

  1. I'm hoping to get Melissa's block done today and I was wondering about keeping all the text upright too...we'll see if I'm as successful as you! Love your journal covers :)
