Here's the finished book cover I made as a leaving gift for our Curate : I made it as a loose book jacket so he can take it off and use it on another book - I finally decided to make it for an A5 page-a-day diary which can be easily replaced when finished with. I also added a small FSL tag to the ribbon bookmark which came fixed to the diary - again, that can be taken off and reused. The FSL design is a freebie and I've no idea where it came from, sorry! Love Dianne x x x

Beautiful....what a nice gift.

Looks really nice.

I love the colors and the pattern. Nice job.

Wonderful made an a beautiful gift.

you always have such beautiful designs the stain glass windows on this are no different!~ flowers for beauty!

Dianne, I received the 3 Saints designs you sent me by mail with all the formats to choose from. As I told you, I will only embroider Jesus (in the middle)for the coming ordination of our priest It will e a bookmark. I will not change anything and will keep the colors. It's so eautiful. When finished, I will post my first downloading project online. Thanks a lot and also, billions of flowers for you. Kisses

The colours are those chosen by the mediaeval craftsmen who created the original windows, and they are as vibrant today as they were when first created over 700 years ago! I wonder if anything we create now will still be around in seven centuries time?

what a great idea Dianne, he's gonna love it. well done *
