Work In Progress Wednesday is not all about fabric today. I made some paper craft.
An Explosion Book
I was reading Annet's blog Fat-Quarter and found this lovely squash book. There you can also see a reference to a great video tutorial, where the book is called an explosion book.
As I had to make a wedding gift I thought I would use photos from my album, add love-related text and cut them to fit the pages of the book.
It was an easy and fun project. Annet, many thanks!
Mandala
I stitched down the circles!
Autumn leaves are falling onto the sampler: #210 Closed Fly Stitch (green), #61 Raised Fishbone (orange silk) and #151 Bengali Petal Stitch (orange wool)

Hi there Queenie, sorry, I don’t know why but I’m now anonymous on some blogs when I comment but my comments work OK on other blogs! 🤷♀️
Annet’s idea of an explosion book is quite new to me - it’s very clever, and I love your version. I enjoyed seeing your stitching today especially the leaves, they look really beautiful!

What a lovely idea for a gift! And you pulled it off perfectly.
You made the perfect gift! I'm glad I could inspire you.
The gift turned out beautifully - well done!
Your squash/explosion book is lovely and will make a fun gift.
And the Mandala is beautiful with additions. Yes, fall leaves are here too and the air is a little spicy/smoky, fall time.
I love the book! I’m sure the recipients did too. Maybe I can try it sometime. You’ve made great progress on your two ongoing projects.
Explosion books are great gifts.
It looks compact. but it can be surprisingly large.
Cute and fun.😆
Great explosion book.
I have made a lot of those explosion books in the past. They are great. Your mandala is looking so good! I am really enjoying following your progress.
I have never heard of an explosion book. What a great idea!
