December embroidery club project

This month's embroidery club project at Threads of Time in Danville was a cover for a neat recipe/photo album.  We got to choose our background fabric, and thread colours.  Our intrepid leader Ila created the pattern for us!
It was super easy to do.  I may get some more of the albums and change up a bit of the design for use as a photo album, rather than recipes.
Here's some more of the quilting on my disappearing nine patch.  I just need to get more of the black fabric for the binding.  I was going to make it scrappy, but it is speaking to me that it wants a black binding.  Gotta listen to the quilt when it talks!

  1. Nice quilting, Maggie. I was looking at those books online. They look great. I may have to buy them.

    That's a clever idea on the album cover. Would love to hear more about it sometime!
