Notebook Cover

Hope you had a wonderful holiday and that you and your loved ones remain safe. 

I am not one to be addicted to shoes and purses. I am simply a running shoes and backpack type of person. 

While shopping, however, I am unexplainedly drawn to organizing containers and journal books. 

Actually, I can explain my addiction for organizing containers - I love organizing! 

My attraction to journals, though, baffles me. I love the idea of writing. I admire those who can easily express their thoughts but I am not a writer.  I struggle with words and eloquence. 

I often remind myself that I don't need another blank journal sitting on my shelf collecting dust. 

When this project appeared in my subscribed emails, how could I resist? Plus, I could justify purchasing the very cute In The Hoop (ITH) quilted notebook cover from Designs by Juju. The project could make lovely Christmas presents, teacher "Thank You" gifts and of course I will have to make one for myself while I am at it. 

The pen holder was the final deciding factor. It screamed to my organizing side.

Designs by Juju offers a variety of quilted cover patterns and different notebook cover sizes. The one above fits a standard college ruled composition notebook.

The project takes time to stitch out but the instructions are thoroughly explained and the cover is well constructed. I ended up making a few covers in different colours and patterns.
