Bookbinding by Jo Ellen

Jo Ellen gave us a wonderful demo on bookbinding, sewing the signatures together with lacing, and the many ways to create covers. They were all beautiful and several members will be making wedding books using this method. Jo Ellen also gave us links to the wonderful handmade papers she uses:
