BOOK OF FOLLY

I have been intrigued for some time with paper junk journals; always wondering if I could transfer some of the methods into fabric.  One of the construction methods was the idea of "slot and tab".  It was time for a new learning experience, so here we are ---

FRONT COVER WITH BELT FASTENER

THE STATS:  Book of Folly, 2024, 6" x 6", Paper pieced, Machine pieced, Machine embroidery, Hand pieced, Cotton and wool, 12 book pages including the two covers.

The pages -- WARNING -- picture overload ----









BACK COVER

The buckle on the belt fastener was from my grandmother's button box, and all fabrics were from my scrap bins.

I don't have the patience or words left to explain the "slot and tab" method.  If interested, you can google it!  I enjoyed making the pages; but, at times found this construction method using fabric cumbersome and/or confusing.  This project, for me,  was probably a "one and done" experiment.  However, I like the finished project!
