A couple weeks ago I saw the most adorable journal cover on Pinterest and had to find who made it.
It was Teesha Moore.
Here is an example of the Art she does.
I realize that she has been around the Creative current for ages and I remember seeing her art before and thinking "weird!!" in a wonderful way.
This time it was her hand quilting that really caught my eye .
She made bags and book covers with her little patches.

| Im not even sure if this is an actual Teesha Moore but you can see the style that caught my attention. |
Messy and irregular, covered with a wild assortment of beads and buttons, even keys were sewn on in places. I loved it and started looking for more examples.
Teesha has been kind enough to make some YouTube tutorial videos.
I watched as many as I could so I could learn how to make my own
funky quilt patchwork something or other.
Then I started cutting and sewing and hand stitching and attempting to piece together all my little patches. It took me 2 weeks. I poked my finger with my needle so often that it has no feeling in the very tip anymore.
When I was done I had a big pile of little patchy quilt pieces.
I decided to make some art journals and had enough for 3 journal covers.
I added a signature of mixed media paper and stitched it into the journal cover.
I don't need to keep them all so I have decided to share one of my home made art journals with you.
