I must say this is all LK's fault! I was looking at her gorgeous journals on her blog and had to go and make one. When I get a bee in my bonnet its all over with ... Never having done a Coptic stitch before I went to my trusted GOOGLE (gosh I love google it can tell you pretty much anything you wanted to know) and I love YouTube because you can pretty much see a demo of anything you wanted to know - even better!
So I went here
and followed the steps using the trusty pause button.
Here are the results !
You are very brave! I love the look of coptic but it also drives me crazy! Yours came out terrific! Love the fabric detail.

Hello, Fellow Gina! Love the way your coptic journal turned out; I found that YouTube tutorial this week, too. Enjoy your new creation!

Good Morning Gina, It was great to meet you at Judi's last night! Thanks for making our yummy dinner
with Judi's kind family, wasn't it great? I too love coptic bound books, and yours looks great. I've meant to
get a book on it. Thanks to you, I just marked the you tube video and will attempt this one day soon.
