INSPIRATION: Japanese embroidery book seen first at yarnstorm.com (ISBN 4-579-11032-3) for the interlocking circles motif
HOW: 1. machine pieced the fabric and then backed with interfacing 2. decorated with embroidery (or with mini log cabin patch as I did for Kay's datebook that I didn't take a picture of before sending off) 3. covered the book
