I've been busy the last few days and delivered them this morning to a local Bible bookstore for resale. They've purchased from me in the past and ran out of my stock just in time for Easter. Most of the covers (with the exception of the denim with embroidery) are made from created fabrics. It's freemotion quilting over layers of bits and pieces of scraps, covered by tulle.
(I did a tutorial for how to make these on my blog - http://peggymunday.blogspot.com/2010/07/scrappin.html and more info on the end result at http://peggymunday.blogspot.com/2010...le-covers.html )
Each cover has padding in the body and flaps, crocheted bookmarks, corded edges, memo pockets on front and back flaps, pen pocket in front flap, cross cutouts on front covers with satiny lining and then satin stitched on edges, and padded handles. Hope they become nice presents for someone for Easter.
p.s. - the purple one on the left in the first pic has no cutout or bookmarks and is more suitable for a paperback instead.
