Edition also photos of Henry’s book.

 I made a cloth book for my grandson Henry’s first birthday. The pattern is from Crabapple Hill.

The pictures are colored with Prismacolor pencils, then brushed with a fixative so the book is washable. Then I embroidered each page and made a few interactive bits, put borders around each pages, layered batting between the pages and binding around the pages pairs. Finally I sewed the pages together on the left edge.

 I recently finished quilting an English paper pieced project that I started during the summer (2020).

It started as a kit from Craftybox and I added some of my own touches. I loved the combination of colors.

All of the pieces except the border are sewn together by hand so it was a great take-along project when I went to Piecemakers quilt group meetings at Wilder Park in Elmhurst during this strange COVID year.
