Notebook cover As requested I made a small tut on how-to-make-a-bookcover the way I do it. I used the test I did for the cross stitch design, to be found on Yoriko's site.

Cross stitch pincushion I digitised and stitched out today, front and back took 10 minutes each, on top of part of a piece I have been working on for years. That one has 14 threads or 7 crosses to the cm and is a bit hard on my (current) eyesight.

Notebook cover I love the embroidered "bumad" - the regional dress of Norway, often worn at weddings or on May 17th, the national feastday. Embroidery is wool on wool, often still made by hand at home. I digitised my take on a design (th

Notebook covers. I was asked to donate a couple of things for a fund raiser. So I bought 12 new notebooks and started with these. The first one is A5, a test stitch on corduroy. The material is the colour of the leaves, but looks quite differen
