BLUE WAVE PAGE

 I designed and made this page for my Fall Journal today.  I stole the image of Hokusai's Wave (along with the rest of the nation).  I was happy when I found (in my stash) a print of Japanese Yukota cotton that would work perfectly.

SQUIRREL PAGE

 I started this a few days ago.  This is the Squirrell page for my Fall Journal.  I finished sewing the parts down and adding a bit of embroidery today.  I think it's done now.  



FIXING COVER

 After I embroidered the letters onto the front and back covers for the Fall Journal I spritzed them with water to erase the water-erasable ink I had used as a guide.  And the color ran.  The golden yellow seeped onto the purple background.  It was faint, but visible.

Instead of trying to get the color out, I decided to stitch around the circle -  over the errant color.

SIGNATURE PAGE

 I made the back cover of my Fall Journal.  It will have my name on it. The ribbon from the front will continue around to this back cover.  I embroidered it before I appliqued it to the back cover.  I left the sides unsewn down so the ribbon length can be adjusted.
