Boy that material is all so pretty Gayle! I’ve loved watching you make these covers. The sound reminded me of my Gramma’s home. She was a prize quilted and won many, many first place ribbons at the old craft fairs in her town. I haven’t been a sewer but my hubby bought me a machine, so I’ll give it a go. It should bring some wild laughter from the both of us into our home 😂

I like to see you sew. It's so calm .. When I sew is like the movie Fast and furious

Lol I'm with you there. I end up with the knots and bunches of thread everywhere and can never get my tension right. I think my sewing machine doesn't like me!

Hi Gayle ... This video played.. and .. I love your nails.😉.... and this video is a keeper .. making covers is my least favourite thing.. ..you always make it look so easy... my favorite thing about making journals is the shopping... so I'll have "more to choose from " wish me luck for when I try this one out for the first time ! 💜

How fun watching you make journal covers! So pretty! I especially love the quilted one! It reminds me of the depression quilts my Mom and Great Grandmother made tother from their old dresses and curtains during the depression. I cherish them so much! Love it sis! Great job!!! 🤗💖🤗

Yummy yummy yummy I got love in my tummy! Those fabrics are so scrumptious! Love these covers. My children always knew not to use the scissors that had the ribbon on them because those were mom’s fabric scissors. If you used those you might be grounded for life!

I love the quilted covers and now I have a use for the large piece of felt I have that I was given from my husband... I will just use it as batting in a cover under some cotton fabric I have. Galye, thank you for th inspiration and ideas. Have a wonderful day... I just wish we were not in lock down so I could go to the fabric store but I will have to make due with what I have on hand. :)

So lovely Gayle! My current project is making sewing journals and using old quilts as covers. I have always collected them too, in fact when our daughter and son-in-law had their barn wedding several years ago, I had enough quilts to cover straw bales for seating! It was beautiful.🥰🧵🪡

All these covers turned out beautiful!! You've inspired me to go thru my quilt collection and see what I might be able to use. I too have collected quilts for too many years to count! 😂 When we moved I ordered a bunch of archival acid free boxes and acid free tissue paper to pack up my quilts. So funny, my daughter asked this weekend what I was going to do with them. She let me store them in her house and I think she wants her closet space back!! Thanks Gayle for showing how you make these covers. You always make it look so easy!! 💜

I’m late to the party but Gayle - these are scrumptious covers. And I wanted to know how so here you are. You get such beautiful fabrics. I tried to get the Cathy Holden here in the U.K. but the price was prohibitive and there no selection. I will have another. Look though as they are gorgeous. And the upholstery fabric was beautiful. I love listening to you. Such joy, such fun. Much love from England 🥰

Hi Gayle! This is my second or third time watching this video, but I guess I never read the comments or commented before. Now I have learned to read the comments, and I comment myself also. This was a great tutorial on making this type of journal cover. You make it seem as if it is easy to do! I love your fabric covers, and the fabrics in this video are gorgeous! I look forward to seeing these covers become completed journals in the future! Thank you very much for making this video! When I make my first journal I will use one of your "Gayle's way" techniques for the fabric cover! TFS Hugs, Samantha
