I made a quilted recipe book and a tablerunner for a friend for Christmas.. She is going to be here for the holidays and I needed to come up with a couple of quick gifts...

You are so clever! What a lucky friend.
How did you cover the recipe book. Pockets for the cover? Glue stick? :lol: Curious minds want to know. [I have daughters I'm always trying to come up with unique gifts for. ] Thanx!

On the inside I measured a 9x6 in finished block and hot glued it down with a small bead.. I wanted the inside of the book is also finished...

I picked up some 1.5 x .5 inch tabs.. I will include 5 of them in an envelope inside the book so she can decide for herself how to divide it and how many pages for her sections..

Thank you for sharing your methodology. Now all I need is a little time. :roll: That is really a neat book and everyone can always use a new journal/recipe book.

Very nice!! I bet your friend will simply love them! Great way to use the composition book! I covered one in white satin, made the front like a soft sculp photo frame for a friend's wedding guest book (We were on a strict budget). I love your idea of making a quilted recipe book!! Maybe I should make one for my friend and see if it brings back any wedding day memories :D
