Bookbinding - an update

Bookbinding online class - oh what did I start! 

I am courageous and started something quite new for me

Although while experimenting I long for fabric and thread

I can‘t deny it.

At least I made a front and back cover with a little

fabric, liberty scraps, and held it down with tulle and

then going over it with the sewing machine

Also a litte handstitching

embroidering the title with backstitches - Bunte Bücher 

(coloured books)

It is an online class with Anne Lange at

www.lange-nadel.de

After folding the pages and binding them with

an easy technique - the side edge binding

I started to think about the next steps ...

the actual binding of the book.

I have to combine two methods and it is not solved yet.

I didn‘t follow the instructions ------ now, readers, please excuse,
I chose the wrong expression. Of course, teacher never gives any
instructions but merely advices or suggestions. However, I am a complete newbie
in this craft and therefore very dependent of - lets call it now "recommendations".
OK?

And - a celebration - one piece for two

with coffee on an outing into the Black Forest/Schwarzwald

Fifty-five years together - two children - three grandchildren

A move from one French farmhouse into another French 

house will soon happen, soon? Maybe in two or three months

we started to move mentally. 

We enjoyed this cake - the calm before the storm -

but wait - the storm hasn‘t begun yet.
