Fabric Book Covers

 
I have been frantically making some more book covers as I am at the Shambles Market in Stroud on Saturday 12th August.
 
Two of these have been made by sewing together 2.5" strips of fabric for the outside and them quilting them onto the wadding. The other 5 are all block printed. Some were block printed on commercial material while the rest started out with white fabric which I coloured and dried before block printing over the top.

Hello.

A good morning's work this morning with both block printing and screen printing

The block printed linen strips are for embellishing some of my fabric book covers.

The screen printed zentangle animals have been printed on both sides of small calico drawstring gift bags.

 
All I have to do now is wait for them to dry completely and then iron them to heat set the inks to make them washable.
 
I did some other things too but they are still work in progress and will be included another day.
