Here is the 'How to' of putting the Stitchbook pages together. I've sewn a mock up of an 8 page book to explain how it goes.
Also an update on how the raven is coming along and what the next video is going to be.
The link to Ann Wood's website is below. Please go and see Ann's information on the Stitchbook project. She also has information on putting everything together.

    What a wonderful video. It was so relaxing, I laughed at the needle stuck in the ravens head 😂I’m going to be binge watching all your other videos over the weekend. 👍🤗

    What a terrific construction idea. Thank you. Also thank you for crediting your source.
  • Adding the extra fabric to two of the page sets was a brilliant innovation. My book is mostly assembled, and I won’t undo it at this point, but you’ve shown how to make the next book align better. Thanks very much!
  • Thank you Marion for your lovely video. I am looking forward to making my stitch journal now. Your inspiration is ace, and I love walking with you around your magical garden. Thank you once again take care xx❤
  • Yes, it looks like your channel grew very fast. It’s lovely to watch you because your are very lovely. Your delight in doing the videos is infectious. Thank you for making this video. When I was a young teen, I got stuck in an algebra class. I failed because I couldn’t imagine those invisible numbers. I did very well with practical math which included sewing and cooking. With sewing, you need geometry. With cooking, fractions. I can also do percentages because I needed to calculate sale prices. Watching you create the soft pages, I recalled the fun of sewing geometry. I could also imagine the feel of muslin (US for UK calico). I think you must of washed it, because it looked very soft. Anyway, thanks for the how-to because I needed to see how you made your stitch book. The slot and tab method is genius, and is another thing I’ll have to research. You are a fabulous teacher. Thank you!💕

    Dear Marion, it’s me Trish here.. it’s late on April 27, 2024, just a few days shy of Beltane and May Day.. I’m re-watching some of your earlier and most lovely and amazing videos, to pass the time in my evenings here, when the streaming is less than exciting and I’d rather see you and your stitching. 🧵 😅 you are so lovely and precious.. sending love!! ❤️

    That's incredible - you are truly an artist!! Your trees are so beautiful; I love the green man. Love the construction too.
  • @deniseadorian
    Amazing idea!!! Have to watch it more than twice to remember how to do it😃
  • @LuluThinking
    I’m watching this lovely video a year after you created it. In it you mention having 600 subscribers… I see you now have 18.7 thousand! Absolutely well deserved, too. How fantastic when skill, creativity, industry and sheer loveliness win out!
  • Hi Marion thanks for showing the construction of your book,it’s so clever and your instructions were very clear , I love your videos and look forward to what you’re planning to share with us next ❤
