Slow Sunday Stitching - denim journal covers

I worked on denim journal covers this weekend and have spent some of that time does some stitching over the seams that were significant in getting the large piece I needed for the journal covers.  It was fun to work four different stitched in four different colours.  Two of the stitches were new to me:  chevron stitch which I did in yellow and open cretan stitch which I did in red.  The two others I had done before - blanket stitch in purple and fly stitch in blue.  I used variegated thread which is was donated to me and I am thinking is polyester from the way it felt and worked in the fabric.  It was quite acceptable for this application.  I was wanting stitches that would overlap the fabric edges.  I had previously stitched the two pieces together with a decorative machine stitch with blue thread which was almost imperceptible.  I will have to remember that thread when I am mending jeans!!!  These covers hold composition books and can be transferred to another one once the original is filled.   These will be donated to sales later this year!!!     I will be joining the group at Kathy's Quilts for her Slow Sunday Stitching.  Check them out - there is always lots of inspiration there!!      Therese
