At the October NORBAG workshop we were taught how to make a variation of the Buttonhole stitch. Lara Cox led us through the steps to create a beautiful book that can open flat to allow for easy journaling or sketching. Lara's idea to create openings in the cover individualizes and enhances the design. Thank you Lara for a wonderful workshop. The following photographs show some of the books made in the workshop.
