Karen issued a challenge to use a piece of Carol Van Zandt fabric a few months ago. She gave out the FQs at a meeting and there were so many that almost everyone got one, even those of us who had no intention of doing the challenge. Fortunately, I received a color that I liked. As the weeks wore on, I decided that the least I could do was make a journal cover. I needed a new one anyway. I wanted to explore the low volume concept some more so I decided to use low volume fabrics with the CVZ fabric to make a journal cover. I did it as part of the sewing frenzy over New Year’s weekend.<\/p>\n

I like the journal cover, but am not as happy with it as I am with the Carpenter’s Wheel<\/a> effort in low volume. Somehow I got derailed and the journal cover looks like I am trying too hard. Or something. I think I should have stayed with black and white rather than straying into grey and colors.<\/p>\n

I used some of the leftover strips from the Paris One Hour Baskets<\/a>, most markedly to fill in the space at the bottom. What do you think of the addition?<\/p>\n

Still, I am resolved to make a lot of work and just have a few good pieces come out. This will function quite well.<\/p>\n

I tried adding in some other purple, but should have stuck to the Carol Van Zandt fabric to highlight it. Fortunately, it is bold enough that it does stand out.<\/p>\n

I tried to add interest here by turning one of the strips sets sideways.<\/p>\n

You can see the whole cover. The colorful ribbon fabric really doesn’t go and I wish I hadn’t added it. I have some CVZ fabric left and will try again with that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
