Not a lot of sewing yesterday...................
I made this journal cover out of some leftover strips from another project and then added one of my sample embroideries to it.

The notebooks inside are 5" x 7" and are spiral bound.
I had a wrestling match with my weigela bushes again yesterday. Brush pickup is next week so I have been working at clean up for about 2 weeks. The weigela bushes send up straight shoots that then take off in any direction and spread out with branches. They get all intertwined so when I cut one, it takes a lot of pulling to get it out of the tangled mess. I have thinned the bushes down to about half size and next month will cut down all of the rest of the branches so it can start all over again next year. I'm stiff and sore from all of the pulling and then carrying all of it to the end of the driveway. Enough for this month!
