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.
