Triple chain stitch.......

Have my book bound!  Made some mistakes since this was first time doing this binding stitch, Triple Chain Stitch, but is was easy and fast and I love the finished product.




I used the covers from a herb book and some paper/fabric for the spine and 4-ply waxed linen thread for stitching this cool design!


A peek of the cover above and the inside papers below!


The inside pages are mono prints I made on my Gelli printing plate.  I will be adding some lettering and collage....then I will have one Christmas present finished!

OOOps!  Almost forgot to give credit where credit is due.....Mary Ann Moss taught me the triple chain stitch in her on-line class, Full Tilt Boogie.  Thanks, Mary Ann, I like this stitch!
