Coptic Bound Handmade Book - Green Floral

Several years ago, my sister and I attended a book making workshop taught by Daniel Essig.  If you've never seen his work, I encourage you seek out his website; his sculptural books are like nothing you've ever seen.

After taking his class, and walking away with a very satisfying wooden coptic book, I wanted to make another book to help reinforce my learning.  This is the first book I made after that class.

Kaleidoscope Scrap Quilt

While I've dipped into my fabric stash for many projects before, this is officially my first scrap quilt.  It is made up of the Kaleidoscope quilt block.

Laura's Crazy Quilt

This quilt was a gift for my niece in honor of her college graduation.  It was started by my mother, her grandmother, many years before.
