    What a fun idea to write down the things that mean the most to you at Christmas each year! Now you have me thinking about how wonderful it would be to make a notebook cover for a baby gift. It could have balloons on the cover and the mother could write down the memories of the child's birthday each year! Oh what fun!

    Nice! I especially love The Christmas Book! What a great idea. And what great gifts these would make.

    I sometimes make my own pattern, as in this journal and my bags/purses. However just google 'how to sew a book cover'. I'm sure you can find enough info to move forward and make your own. I would suggest that you cut your piece to quilt larger than what you need and then cut to size you need AFTER you quilt. Good luck-if I had the time I'd write a pdf tutorial but don't have time right now. Good Luck!-Toogie
