Prullea's Patchwork quilt and journal

I make this journal for my craft group. I did not do the patchwork, one of the ladies at the patchwork group did it for me. I love the colors and patterns. I ended up giving the book away to Prue, the lady who did the patchwork so beautifully. She has a patchwork quilt made with the same fabrics so they are a perfect match.

The spine cords on all my journals are crossed at the back of the book
for added stability and strength.

Little Handmade Journal with metal hardware on the cover in natural shades of metal and brown.

This delightful little journal has a metal (Trunk Handle to be exact) decoration on the cover and closing cord tie decorated with hand made fiber beads and pony beads that wraps around a single button ... See photos.

This Journal had approximately 272 to 280 pages (counting both sides of the paper as a total of two pages).

This journal would be lovely for recording memories, holiday antics and fun, or to use as an art journal for drawings or a little note book. (I would not recommend it for paintings ... the paper would not be suitable for paint.)

Mini Handmade Journal Handmade Fiber Bead closing Three Framed Rose Portraits

Other than the paper, this is a handmade journal in every respect. Hand stitched, with each individual page hand cut. The covers also personally cut one at a time. The front cover of this Mini Journal is decorated with delicately patterned fabric that has tiny little brush strokes printed on it in shades of dark red, navy blue aqua, cream and tones of tan and brown. I added three little framed portraits of rose prints that just blend in with the fabric beautifully. The cord tie has two black pony beads, one two inch handmade fiber bead and one larger gold colored bead. I also added two little cold colored beads between the rose portraits and at the spine, I added a long fiber bead to match the one on the cord tie.
