Dyed, Stitched, and Quilted Book Project

This weekend I attended the virtual Montana/Idaho SAQA Region Annual Meeting.  It was amazingly engaging!  I learned so much!  On Sunday, we started a project where we performed mark making on fabric and then learned to fold it into a book and stitch it together.  The real trouble is, I now have two new projects on my list that were not there on Friday.  They are both going to take a little while, because I have to think about how I proceed, when it comes to art.  

The one I am working on now, I started with a piece of hand-dyed and somewhat marked fabric I created in July with my "Sewful" stitching group.  At least, when this book is complete, I will have used the fabric in an art project.


This is showing the folding part, but I had not started any real stitching on it yet.  I had only stitched the interfacing onto the wrong side of the fabric, at this point.

At this point, I have determined which panel part of the book will be the cover.  I have stitched most of this owl.  I need to add the beak and talons.
I have two regular quilt projects that I planned to start, this month, and I had better get started!
