Then I made 2 more journal covers. These are really wonky looking.
When I sewed the leftovers from the Strips that Sizzle strata together I thought they looked OK. Then when I got them bordered with this alphabet fabric I wasn't too sure I liked them. I like the illusion though of the purple bars over the green in the background.
I delivered Dad's shirt to him and he was really excited about it. Whew!! He didn't try it on while I was there so I told him not to cut the tags off until he tried it on and was sure he liked the way it fits. I told him it was an early birthday present since his birthday is only 22 days away.

I love the wonky covers.
you get so much accomplished I am hopping up and down to much going from room to room wandering when it is raining and then back to quilt and then up and down - I wish I could get more accomplished.

I'm so glad your dad liked the shirt! The journal covers have a very neat effect. I didn't know what you meant by "alphabet fabric" until I enlarged the photos -- it's a good choice for a journal where people will be writing things down.
Great to get stuff done on a dreary day! Love the colors. So glad your dad likes his shirt!
Very nice. It does look great with the dark color popping out on top of the greens. I like the alphabet fabrics with it.
the wonkier the better.
The journal covers are fabulous! I love them!
We're getting your overcast day today and then they say we've got a big storm coming in with lots of rain and wind. But still mild.
I never tire of seeing another one of your journal covers. This one is perfect with the writing on the purple. I enjoy enlarging your photo's, detail is amazing.

I like these wonky covers too. The writing, before enlarging, looks like a purple brick wall with openings to a garden! Cool!
I love the purple fabric with the writing on it.
That purple and green together are awesome. I love the illusion it gives.
I love the purple and green journal covers. I am inspired to try to make one. Your dad's birthday is the same as my very best friends.

Hi Wanda,
Your journal covers are very garden-like (sitting on a porch, looking past the hanging baskets of flowers to the garden).
I like the neat "word" fabric, too. Ideas, ideas.

Such lovely colours!
Oh what a treat! I just love purple and mauve and all hues in between! Thank you for the boost.
I love how the journal came out. The writing behind it adds another element of design that seems to blend well with everything else. I think if it was plain, it wouldn't POP the way it does now.
