It probably looks finished to you but it isn't. It has moved on from here though. I have more plans for it.....I'm going to put buttons and threads and things inside. The cover is lined and attached to the pages and there's a very long piece of ribbon coming from the reverse edge which wraps around the book to keep it closed. Three edges have been finished with buttonhole stitch, the other with dangly blue sequins.
I could become addicted to these. However.....my 'to do' pile is huge. I have stash squares to stitch and charm squares to stitch and a cloth book to finish along with a cover for a much bigger artist book. I have another one of these little sketchbooks cut out and a cover for it pieced and tacked ready to be embroidered. At least I won't be twiddling my thumbs any time soon.
