See what my sister, Mary Jo, gave me for my birthday recently! A couple of years ago we went to a book arts workshop in Asheville. I blogged about it here<\/a>.

Mary Jo decided to refresh her memory and make another one, just not with wooden covers, and I was the lucky beneficiary.<\/p>\n

We met last weekend — she’s in central Florida, 4 hours away — and exchanged book making supplies.

It’s an interesting structure which involves a base page on which the quilt square is sewn plus an extension that wraps around and becomes a frame which also connects to the next page. She had finished the text block and I was bringing her book board she needs to do the covers. I can’t wait to see what it looks like finished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
