Hello Everyone,
Hopefully you had a wonderful Easter holiday. I am especially grateful for the warmer
weather and no snow.
Just a quick recap of our April 12th meeting.
Our group project, the “Seasons” book, got off to a great
start. Thanks everyone for bring in your
Spring page. :D You will want to keep your
traded pages secure. Once we have all
the pages for seasons traded, we will discuss how to assemble them into a bound
book. The Summer page will be due at our
August or September meeting.
A big THANK YOU to Dina Leib for demonstrating the Tab and
Slot and the Tea Bag book forms and providing the materials. It was very inspirational. I have posted photos of my finished books and will be putting the demos of them up later this month.

Dianna Reiter brought in her example of the Secret Belgium Binding Book.
It’s a
beautiful sewn book binding but a bit tricky.
Or anyone whose interested in giving it a try on their own, I have
posted a tutorial of the binding (from Erin Fletcher at herringbonebindery.com)
on our Pinterest board. (Pinterest board

Chris Klein also shared with us another set of instructions for Hedi Kyle's Diagonal Pocket Book form. This set of instructions came from the magazine Bound & Lettered, Fall 2013. The article "Making a Paper Wallet" by Carol Bubosch has great instructions and very clear photos of what to do.
Our next meeting is May 10th from 10am to Noon at Mt. Mary. Chris Klein has volunteered to demonstrate
the Secret Victorian Purse Fold. For
this you will need to bring a 9” x 9” text weight paper. It can be printed on one side and white on
the other. This will make you a purse
that is 3” square. If you would like to make
a 4” purse, the paper size should be 12” x 12”.
You will also need to bring a bone folder and just the
regular supplies (pencil, ruler, scissors, etc.)
Happy Spring!
See everyone on the 10th.
Sheila
