Stitched Book Cover

Here is the book cover I made with the stitched sample. In the end, I decided it really is a book cover. Partially because I wanted to use the whole of the stitching, which turned out larger than the diary. I used a piece of the velvet from the stitching the other day for the catch.

Here is the back. There are strips of fabric inside each of the back covers, which holds the cover onto the book. I could have enhanced it more with beads, etc. But I wanted to leave it simple as a Free Motion Embroidery sample.
