Lisbeths book arrived today, and very nice it is too, I will enjoy stitching on her pages.
Use the arrows to move between the photos to see each of the pages created by Lisbeth.

Lisbeth and myself had agreed to post the books back to each other yesterday, but I wasn’t quite finished so I will be posting it tomorrow.
Here’s what I did to Lisbeths book, use the arrows to move between the photos, I really enjoyed working on it, it’s the first book I’ve made, and it’s an interesting avenue to explore, I’m sure.
Here is each page, on the left as Lisbeth decorated it, and on the right what I did to it.
Here are some details…
We also agreed to prepare another book for each other to work on and to send it along with the finished book. This time I used more appropriate card, so it isn’t quite so gnarly as the first one, but it’s still not as clean and sharp as Lisbeths was. I’ll save our second book exchange for another couple of blogposts.

The book has arrived back with Lisbeth and I’m glad to say she likes it. She said….
Thank you so much for the very fine book. You must have had a party making it. Funny with all the buttons, zippers also. To me it looks like we both were a little cautious at the beginning and went “crazy” at the end. ”
I think she is correct, it was a party, and it got crazier as it went on, as parties usually do. I’m looking forward to the next one 🙂
EDITED TO ADD: Lisbeth did a video of the book…
They’re both great. Well done, really good to see how they develop.
Thank you Deborah, it’s been good fun, and there’s another one to come 🙂
I love everything about this ! Thank you for sharing and inspiring others.
Thank you for taking the time to read about it Cindy 🙂
Your ideas for each page amaze me. Such a variety of mark makings. I love how your stitch continued to the next page. This has been a pleasure to see and I’m looking forward to the next one.
Thank you so much Laura, I’m delighted by your response!
What a delightful cooperative art project. Both of you are very talented!
Thank you Suzanne, I am a fan of Lisbeths work 🙂
