Here are some photos of my finished book from last year'

s swap.  My theme was home and garden and I received some absolutely gorgeous pages from around the world.  They were all so different but came together wonderfully.  I added the covers, inside covers and 1 whole page to even the numbers to have pages in pairs (signatures).  I stitched each pair by hand along the inside edge loose enough for the double page to lay flat.  The covers had a hinge to wrap around the spine.
