Hi Cuties, I am continuing to make gifts. I thought a journal would be nice. My first one to do and its a little tight, for the book to fit in. I couldn't top stitch around the edge, so I had to sew my opening, by hand.
This beautiful design is from Embroidery Library 14251 lighthouse toile. I thought it was the perfect design for this journal. Of course, I added the wording. I hope you like what I came up with. Good night Toogie

I downloaded it last year and at the time never thought I would use it. I'm so glad I did!

Oh that is so nice and professional looking. What type of fabric did you use? On the close up it looks as though it could be a Canvas weave looks perfect for the project.

I'm not sure of the fabric content. This was some curtain panels I got for $1. each. I have made three out of one panel. Several times I almost made totes with this fabric. I'm sure glad now that I didn't. Thanks -Toogie

The pen was my SIL's. He took a nap on my sofa and my grandson found it. I said wasn't mine, but SIL said just keep it. So it came in handy here. (Sure glad ink didn't get on my sofa.) Thanks for looking-Toogie
Everything I used was what I had on hand, except for the composition book fifty cents @ Walmart.

I was lucky to run across it in my files. I always download even if, at the time, I have no use for it. I'm glad you like it and I thought it fit in with the trip/place too. Thanks-Toogie

I thought so too, especially time to write on those roads with nothing to see or in your hotel room, after a good hot bath.

I love it Toogie. I've started so many journals and somehow get lost along the way and never completed a one/Lillian

It looks great and perfect for your trip. When I went to Creative Machine Embroidery, I saw that the chapstick / USB holder key fob is still free there (when I posted in your other thread about gifts, I could only find it on the vendor site for $$). Thought I'd share in case you haven't nabbed it.

This is a nice project! I can think of times when I've been traveling and in the evening I had nothing to do except watch tv. So I think next time I'll start a jounal and can write in it during the evening! Good work!

Thank you missqueenbee47. I see your avatar is a light house. Did you draw it? Maybe you're from around a coast, either way, it looks good. -Toogie

I like Emb Library designs. The ones I have stitched always came out great. Some are very dense though and you must stabilize well, although this one was not. I ironed Pellon 809 onto mt front cover and then just hooped the front. No other stabilizer was required.

Very lovely, did you create the journal cover or is it a purchased design?
