As ever, Nina, your ideas, work and precision is just unbelievable. These gorgeous books are absolutely beautiful. I love both but favour the bluey toned one, slightly more but they are both breath taking. I have so many fabrics from eBay that I have no clue how to use them up and this is certainly one way of working with them. Hope Steve managed, somehow, to see the mighty Reds win the Carabao cup right at the last minute. Tears shed and voices lost here at Lambert Towers!! Have a lovely week and thank you so much for the inspiration which I shall try to think of when I eventually organise my craft room which may take till the Champions League Final to finish!! x
What a result hey! Sam is our Reds supporter, has been since he was a nipper. Haven’t spoken to him today though, but he would have been glued to the match! Steve on the other hand has been glued to the Rugby! Glad you like these little books. Have a great week and Happy Creating ❤️ x
I love fabric on journals and it is a perfect project for those fabric scraps we all have tucked away! I think we all go through phases of doing various creative endeavours and we rarely throw things out! It will be a fun journey to continue! Yours are so pretty already!💕🇨🇦
Thank you so much Nina, I really really enjoyed watching you create these beautiful and stunningly gorgeous little journals. They’re so cute and adorable too. I think I like them just as they’re are, but if you wanted to add some slow stitches around the square pieces with embroidery floss, that might be nice. But, I really think your florals make a lovely statement on their own. Please stay safe and well too xxxx ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Mags. I really appreciate your comment. Sometimes we feel that we need to add unnecessary embellishments to our crafts don’t we, whereas sometimes less is more. Yours was the comment I was hoping to get. Love you to bits ❤️❤️❤️❤️ xxxxxx
Hello Nina, I just adore your fabric journals!! I have gone back and forth in picking my favorite and gave up, they are both beautiful!! I am looking forward to you embellishing the covers and adding signatures. I wish you a warm, dry day! Hugs to Louie and Toby.
Thanks Debbie, I am still undecided as well! Glad to say it’s been a dry week so far, albeit very cold a d foggy. I do love a foggy morning though. Have a great week 💕
Good morning! Well, it is morning here!! Your journals are just delightful! I love both colors! Great choices from your fabric options! I am off to see Jerri's video. TFS. 🥰🙏. Enjoy your week!
Can't wait to see part 2. Love the pink one. How you get pages inside is a mystery to me, that's why I look forward to part 2. Wonderful video as always.
Hi Nina, I love your journals! And I want to thank you for the shout out, I’ve already had a visiter from your channel. I’m so happy to be back! Thanks so much for sharing, sending hugs… 🩷
These fabric journals are lovely. My favorite is the reddish one although they are both quite nice. I have several completed slow stitch projects just laying in a drawer. I am going to make one of these journals and put them into it. Thanks as always for great inspiration!
Good morning nina, making books is always the thing I enjoy most and I learned so much from your videos how to do that. Love the soft spines, I do this too lately when I make books. Also love every time I hear you use expressions I did not know before..today's one was.."come and play ball with me"...loved it. I will not choose today, liked both of the books. Congratulations to both Steve and Alex. I hope you are doing well and wish you a good week my friend. Love and a hug ❤xxx lena
Good afternoon Lena. I really enjoyed making these and I do believe the soft spines were a first for me. Love them! Actually got out into the garden today and cut the lawn for the first time which had grown out of control due to all the mild wet weather! It was not an easy cut as everything is still so wet, but the garden looks a lot tidier for it. I think I will feel it tomorrow! First time I have done any serious work in the garden since my op! Hope you have a great week. Love and hugs ❤️ xxx
Oh I love this project. What a great way of using up swatches and scraps. I'm really looking forward to seeing how you make your signatures/pages in these journals. Many thanks, Nina.
I want to dig my slow stitching supplies out next week. Need to clear the decks of all the Daphne’s Diary stuff I have everywhere to make some space! Have a great weekend 🥰💕🌸
Hi Nina, your covers are not only beautiful, they are so neat and tidy. Thoughtful to hang onto your jumpers from back in the day! I’d love to still have a couple, I wore. Looking forward to seeing how you fill these treasures. Enjoy your week, Nina.
Thanks Cheryl. I was obsessed with felting all my old jumpers and scarves. I made loads of brooches and Christmas decorations and that kind of thing. Will be good to pull them out again. Have a great week 💕🌸xo
Hi Nina! Love the idea of a fabric spine! It’s hard to choose between the two covers because both covers are so pretty! But I think the coral one…Looking forward to seeing the signatures and binding! 😊🙏🌸
Hi Nina: I watched you make those flowers and thought they were gorgeous! Glad to see how you’re using them with these beautiful journals. For some reason I’m leaning towards the green one, but both look great. 💜😎🇺🇸
Really enjoyed that tutorial, looking forward to part 2. I have made the spine/part cover for a fabric book, it was a blessing cross stitch for January but I picked a design that would take months to finish 😂 Thank you for this journal journey, your work is amazing.
I love them both! I'm wondering if you will be able to use your typical method of holding the signatures in with elastic or twine so you can take them out to work on. Maybe the spine wouldn't hold up for that? Looking forward to the next videos on your slow stitch journal. Be well!
I will have to bind in my signature(s) with a pamphlet study, but that is ok as with slow stitch I will work on fabric pieces outside of the journal, unlike I would with collage. Looking forward to filling this ❤️
Yes. I used thick chipboard (in my case picture framing mountboard) for the outside covers, and cereal box (which is much thinner) for the inside covers.

Yes, this is my never ending clutter issue. I find it impossible to part with my crafting supplies 😂💕🌸
SOOOoooooo BEAUTIFUL!! I would find it impossible to choose between the two! Thank you for sharing these!!
Beautiful! Love both color schemes! Highly anticipating part two! 👍✌️❤️😊
I love all the fabric textures Nina & look forward to seeing them finished...I love green so you can probably guess which one I favor🙂
The green is pr try, although I am still undecided 💕
Oh those are so pretty.I’m up early before anyone else this morning ,so have been able to sit nice and quiet watching you video 😊X
I’m so in love with these. Just can’t decide whether to leave the focals as they are or add a bit more to them. Decisions decisions 🤔🌸💕 Xx
I like them how they are 😁x

Hello Jeri. I found your video very inspiring. It’s good to have you back 💕
Beautiful perfection! Some slow stitching would be nice!
Hello Nina, Lovely fabric books. My favorite one is the pinkish red one. look forward to watching how you finish them.
Your journals are amazing,can’t wait to see a signature page❤️
Lovely journals Nina xx.
What a surprise this morning to see a fabric journal 🥰. I did not read all the comments but was it me? I love it so far. ❤❤❤❤
Good morning Ineke, yes it was you that inspired these. Loved the idea ❤️🥰xo
Absolutely stunning Nina ❤cant wait for part 2
These fabric journals are lovely. My favorite is the reddish one although they are both quite nice. I have several completed slow stitch projects just laying in a drawer. I am going to make one of these journals and put them into it. Thanks as always for great inspiration!

Thanks Edna. They were fun to make and looking forward to filling them too 🌸
Hi Nina I like both of your journals and looking fwd to seeing you finish making and then filling them with all the wonderful ideas
Thanks so much Christie. Will be rummaging through my stash later today 🌸
Looking forward to part 2! I like the green one! I do a lot of slow stitching and I am interested in seeing how you make your books! 😃❤️
I want to dig my slow stitching supplies out next week. Need to clear the decks of all the Daphne’s Diary stuff I have everywhere to make some space! Have a great weekend 🥰💕🌸
Love them both, but the red "pop" is fantastic
Hi Nina, your covers are not only beautiful, they are so neat and tidy. Thoughtful to hang onto your jumpers from back in the day! I’d love to still have a couple, I wore. Looking forward to seeing how you fill these treasures. Enjoy your week, Nina.

Hi Nina, just love the book covers you've made. We are so lucky to enjoy a hobby where we can make such unique things. Very inspiring. Thank you 💕
Thanks Ann, we are aren’t we. There is always something new to try. Have a wonderful week 🌸
Beautiful covers!
Thanks Yolanda, glad you like them ❤️
Love this. Can’t wait to see what you decide! I truly love the green more.
Glad you like this project 💕🌸🌸🌸
They look lovely nine. 😊
Thank you so much Jane ❤️
These are just so lovely and tidy! They’re both so pretty but the blue/green might edge out a little bit!
Thanks Lynda, I am still undecided 🌸
Another beautiful project
Thanks Dawn 🌸
Beautiful! I like them both but drawn to the green/blue one.
Thanks Carol 🌸
I love these book covers both are beautiful😊
Hi Nina! Love the idea of a fabric spine! It’s hard to choose between the two covers because both covers are so pretty! But I think the coral one…Looking forward to seeing the signatures and binding! 😊🙏🌸
Thanks so much for your kind words. I’ll be back soon with part 2 🌸
Hi Nina:
I watched you make those flowers and thought they were gorgeous! Glad to see how you’re using them with these beautiful journals. For some reason I’m leaning towards the green one, but both look great. 💜😎🇺🇸
Thanks Joanne, it is a tough decision 🌸
These are both so very cute!
Thank you! 😊

Oh dear. Hope you eventually finish it 💕🌸
I love them both, but green wins for me.
Thank you 🌸
Really neat! Love them both!
Thank you! 😊
Love these!
Love this ideas 🎉❤❤
They are lovely ❤
Thank you 💕🌸💕
Very interesting video ❤
Thanks so much Sherry 🌸

I normally lean towards pink so i would pick that one BUT i love the green one as well so it's really too hard to pick one..
It’s so hard to decide isn’t it 🌸
Is slow stitching the same as hand stitching? Beautiful start of the journals.
Yes it is. I think the term slow stitching means it’s a creative and meditive form of hand stitching 💕🌸💕
Do you use cardboard???
Yes. I used thick chipboard (in my case picture framing mountboard) for the outside covers, and cereal box (which is much thinner) for the inside covers.
I confused about stiching..
Can you please explain. I don’t understand your comment?
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia i don't know to stich the notebook
Maybe an explanation of slow stitching is needed?
