Calendar Cover

The 2012 calendar cover is made, finally. I carry a calendar every week day because of work and I decided many years ago that it did not have to look utilitarian. This one is the Quilt Art 2012 calendar published by American Quilting Society. Small projects like this are a wonderful place to use up cheap fabric. Want to make one for yourself? Search for notepad/portfolio/journal cover tutorials.

  2. Thanks for sharing this pattern source. I won't use paint sticks, but some fun, vibrant fabric will work marvelously. (I may even have some of that butterfly fabric left). Looks great!

  4. Very nice! Congrats for keeping your life old school. I have given up my 'paper brain' in favor of the smart phone . . . time will tell if that was smart or not *s*
