A couple of years ago we went to a book arts workshop in Asheville. I blogged about it <a href=\"http:\/\/callibeth.blogspot.com\/2006\/05\/wooden-coptic-books-workshop-with.html\">here<\/a>. Daniel Essig taught the workshop, and we made wooden Coptic books. It was lots of fun, but so far I haven&#8217;t done much to follow up. Mary Jo decided to refresh her memory and make another one, just not with wooden covers, and I was the lucky beneficiary.<\/p>\n<p>We met last weekend &#8212; she&#8217;s in central Florida, 4 hours away &#8212; and exchanged book making supplies. I had bought book board, she had ordered Cave paper and rolls of Oriental paper for book cloth backing. I got to see the book she&#8217;s working on now. It incorporates 15 or 20 quilt blocks that she made when we went up to Montreat for a week in 2001. It&#8217;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&#8217;t wait to see what it looks like finished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>See what my sister, Mary Jo, gave me for my birthday recently!
