Little samples . . .

. . . on scraps of felt, in a small book i made. Nice in theory, but the book is really fat and doesn't close of course! Looking for solutions. Maybe if the pieces are placed on the pages so that they interlock? Top one left is herringbone with weaving over it, and on the right wrapped with buttonhole stitch. The rest cross stitch.

The binding of the book needs to compensate for the extra bulk added by the samples -- try making an accordion-pleated "spine" and gluing each page between two of the pleats, leaving alternate ones free. Google "flag book" if that description doesn't make sense!
