Fabric Journal Covers Mass Make! 

I don't know what it is about your cover series but I always get inspired from watching them over and over :)

Gm Ms Gayle. Really enjoy your cover making. It’s so inspiring. Makes me happy and want to get up and mass make for no apparent reason every single time. Have a happy day dear friend. Hugs and happy thoughts sent your way. TFS ❤🤗

I could watch you make 100 more covers! I don't know why I love it so much 😃😆😁

I was literally saying, “Stop, Gayle, STOP!” on that cover you’re going to quilt. Wade looked at me and said, “You know she can’t hear you, right?” 😂 I love Kelly Rae Roberts’ art. So glad you let us know she has fabric!!! 💐

Hahaha Gayle - I was yelling " No don't glue that on yet if you're going to quilt the front" So glad you caught that. 😄

Gayle, I make quilts so I am sewing a lot. I love the sound of a sewing machine . I never could understand why some people complain when you sew. Beautiful journal covers: You always inspire me. Jean

I drive my family nuts with saving junk mail and packaging to make my journals but then when they see them they are like aww how pretty is that 😂❤❤❤

I never knew to stop zig-zag stitching when the needle is on the left in order to have a nice stitched corner!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Your covers are going to be gorgeous! You are so creative! I'm very new to junk journaling and never would have thought to upcycle Amazon packaging for covers!!! Brilliant!

Just listening to you talk and see is so relaxing. And inspiring

I LOVE the sound of the sewing machine. 💖🧵 I wish they had it on those calming videos to help you sleep 😴 I’m sure I would drop off to sleep so quickly. 🛌 Thanks for the video Gayle. 😘

Thanks for letting us watch you make these! Very pretty!!

I’m so motivated to get covers done! I have a lot of company during the summer months…and all the time, really, since we moved to the Lake but I’m excited to get some crafting time in! It’s a joy to have my people come and still have fun things when they leave. Thanks for sharing this!

Hello Gayle. I just love watching your videos. I’m learning a lot everyday from you. Hugs

Hello Gayle, loved the mass fabric cover makes, they are lovely. Yesterday Amazon delivered 2 packages and my hubby got them and brought them to me in the kitchen and when I saw the packaging (the white bubble mailers) I said 'Yes, yes finally I got some', to which my husband said 'isn't it my 2 vitamins?', so then had to explain, which just got a head shake. TFS

The last three days I’ve tea dyed paper and fabric. Then I watched one of your previous cover videos. I made 10 covers, 5 of which I used Amazon packaging. It is fun to hear the popping. I sew on an old Singer Featherweight that has no zig zag. After sewing once around the cover, I did a wavy stitch line around the cover, criss crossing over the straight line of stitching.

Wow! Zoom-zoom! 😄👍❤ (I was one of them yelling stop! Haha. At least you caught it in time!)

I was also saying, "No, no, you want to quilt that one". Did you hear me? I really enjoyed the video and seeing all of the different fabrics and how you chose the insides for all-and the pocket lace and fabric. Good video. Thanks, Gayle!

Good morning Gayle! Happy that you are part of my day❤️

Oh, I love that pink slow stitch cover, it is beautiful!!!! Is going to be a gorgeous pink cover when finished!!!

Love your comment about having a plan to get up! So true.

Really pretty fabrics. I didn’t know Kelly Raye had fabric. That’s exciting. These will be very pretty covers. Can’t wait to see how you dress them up❤️

You are like a one-person factory cranking out all those covers. They are all beautiful.

You are amazing. To create so many covers in an hour. I think my "thinkery" gets too involved in crafting because it would take me half a day to do one. 🥴 Every single cover you made is just gorgeous. So many yummy fabrics!

It's called "squirreled". 🤣🤣 You remember the cartoon with the dog that would never finish talking because a squirrel would run by and he'd take off? My sister does that a lot while shopping.

Today after watching you make all those beautiful journal covers - youtube decided I should watch your Nov.23, 2018 video. I think you would laugh your socks off when you see it. Your discovery of none other than your much loved Art Glitter Glue. You had me laughing out loud !!! I use nothing but Art Glitter Glue on everything but fabric as you do. FYI I just started using Tombo Aqua Mono liquid Glue - It's a little more expensive but just love the bottle it comes in and the fact that it goes exactly where you want it without puddling or stringing all over the place. As I've told you before - I don't know what I'd do without you -you have kept me going when all I wanted to do was crawl back into bed and forget the world. Making journals is my reward for going to my studio every day. You are so appreciated ! Thank You - deena

Gayle's jewels of wisdom: "Never get on the floor without a good plan on how to get up." Love it!!!

I love watching you create

Love all the covers Gayle, and still another great film!!! Am considering getting out my sewing machine, it’s new and quite a few years old. You are an absolute Inspirational mentor!! Have a great time at your retreat, as I am positive you will, and again Thank you!!!

Loved seeing someone else’s process. I use spray adhesive to adhere material, and I like to pink the edges. Very nice mass make❤️

I can watch you make covers all day. I have gone back through your cover videos before and just find these relaxing and creative.

Hi Gayle. These are going to be fabulous!!

Glad you "kept us a little long" because that last cover was gorgeous! It would have been a shame to miss it. All of the covers came out great. I am one of the ones that sometimes struggles with what to do for the cover

Glad to learn covers

Ooh, I love it when you mass make covers, it really inspires me. These are all so beautiful… big hugs sweet Gayle. 🌸💕🌸

Gayle I watch you from New Zealand I watched Unbelievable, it was good. Laughed about your cheese hanging off the cracker. Years ago my ex boyfriend used to say THE CHEESE HAS SLID OFF THE CRACKERS, maybe it has changed over the years, cracked me up when he said it and I have used it since for when someone ain't quite right ha ha.

I absolutely love when you make covers, Gayle! It’s my favorite part of journal making...wish I were better at finishing a journal once I start one LOL

I remain amazed at how much you accomplish in one video. I love all the covers, but the last one was my favorite. I am excited to see how you eventually fill them up with luscious things. You are so kind and generous to offer your time as a fund raiser for the YWCA. You do so many things that continue on to change lives and give hope. If cloning ever becomes a thing, you should certainly volunteer!

Morning Gayle!😀

Wonderful covers , thanks for the idea of bubble wrap , I normally use felt but will give this a try also

Good Afternoon Gayle! Nothing better than a make ahead session with you. 🐞

Beautiful journal covers…love the long videos!

Good golly Miss Molly that is a bunch of covers. I love watching you create these Gayle. Hope you and Mike have a wonderful 4th of July weekend. Big hugs.

Really pretty journal covers Gayle! I have not made one with the bubble mailer yet. And love those fabric ones!

OMG I LOVE IT GAYLE!!!!!!

I love these cover videos. Forget times. I could watch your videos all day, I was telling you NO NO don't glue it yet!!!

💜 Ty Gayle!

It's so nice to batch make or mass make some covers to have on hand. You have lots of fun fabrics, too. I guess I can't say good morning. Thursdays are my out of the house days so it's nighttime now. I hope you had a great day. Love&hugs

Girl I found your journal cover playlist a while back- I've watching many of them! Love watching you make them. :)

Hi Gayle, better late than never 💕

Wow!! These are beautiful journal covers Gayle!! The slow stitch piece is going to look so very pretty on the pink rose fabric!! I can hardly wait to see how you decorate them all!! Fun video today!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)

I love the last one the best! Such gorgeous colors and I am a fan of bird nests.

Thanks for showing this again. I can't seem to get enough of the covers 😊😊

Yes I was shouting " No no don't do that" 🤪 So glad you heard 🤭 Love love love your fabrics Gayle especially the tapestry looking one ❤💛🧡💜

Hi! Gayle, Thank you for sharing. HAVE a WONDERFUL DAY. Hopefully you have a great day with Mike.❤

Hi Gayle, I kind of zoomed along this video , though I enjoyed it 😄 too. I'm looking for the fabric cover video where after you modge, tissue paper them and then let them dry 4 days. Thank you sincerely 🙏 ps Keep in mind to have fresh needles as you are sewing paper to fabric and the needle would dull faster with the paper. 💖

Beautiful covers - slow-stitched one is going to make a gorgeous journal - Hugs.

All the covers turned out beautifully. When you finish all the stitching can you show them 😊? I hope you have a great luncheon 😁! Thank you for sharing, take care 🤗💕!

These were all so cute!!!!! But you about scared me to death, I was outside with the new puppy letting it play and I was watching you… about the time you started to put glue on the bubble wrap I turned to watch puppy, well the sound reminded me of rattlesnake rattle and I jumped up looking for one… then realized it was coming from the video, so I sat down and had huge lol….but it gave heart a good workout!!!🤣🤣🤣❤️💕❤️💕

Hi Gayle, pretty covers. Scraps of batting, lay them side by side zig zag them together to make bigger pieces, funny how we use every scrap. Great video as always.

Good morning, making covers ahead is fun. I been making them also. Have a blessed day.

Gayle every single one is beautiful. I love them!!!

yes, I was yelling at you to stop glueing the inside cover on the quilty one !!!! whew, you heard me. These are looking lovely !!!!

Hi Gayle. Love ❤️ hearing the bubbles 🫧 popping. Always makes me giggle 🤭. Have a great day. Hugs 🤗 DarvaDee

Thanks for showing various cover styles. Have you ever thought of just selling journal covers, plain and decorated? I know I'd buy one providing I got to your very popular Etsy shop in a timely manner. Just a thought..

I love that you introduce us to new fabric artists. I explored some of Kelly Rae Roberts fabrics and they so bright and cheerful. They are just perfect for summertime digitals. I love your journal cover playlist. It covers more types of cover than I’ll ever make. 😊

Ooh, I have the same sew machine and I love it. Take a little while to get used to it. Love, love all the covers. Thank you for sharing the process. hugs.

Awesome journal covers Gayle, love the mass make session. I need to have that session with a couple of items this weekend. Have a awesome day🤗💜

I love watching you put together your covers. So far when you make these types of covers the end up being one signature journals. I wonder how to use your method but somehow include a spine for a bigger journal result?

Love how these are turning out. Thanks for showing your process. It’s very helpful.

Hello Gayle ❤️ The covers are fabulous! I was trying to tell you not to glue the covers that you wanted to quilt. lol I'm so glad you could hear me through the TV.

I Love all these covers. Can’t wait to see the focal points you put on them. I tried to decide my favorite but couldn’t do it.

I fell in love with the Kelly Rae fabric and had to rush right on over and buy myself a bunch of it. Now I hope my husband doesn't get the mail the day it's delivered..hahaha. but seriously he doesn't mind so we're all good. Loved the video and your going to have some great journals❣️

Wow! That was an amazing amount of covers! Loved all the fabrics used. 👏😁💕

You are on a roll! These are all going to be stunning journals!

Beautiful covers!

Such beautiful fabrics and you whipped them up into covers in no time! I need to bite the bullet and get a couple fabric covers made. I struggle with covers and have been nervous making a fabric cover. I just need to do it! Thanks for the confidence builder! Have a blessed day!

Outstanding video!!! Thank you, Gayle!!

Beautiful covers, love every one.❤️🙏

Great video! What fun! The retreat sounds fun! I want to go! Can’t wait tinder everything you make !

Good morning Gayle 💜 The slow stitch piece is so fun, looking forward to seeing it put together. Your cover fabrics are so beautiful!

I love the lace you sewed onto the first pink cover! :)

I love doing cover to match the theme of inside of the journal.

Beautiful journal covers! Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️😊

Good afternoon sweet Gayle. Not feeling my best today. 😕 so I am late. lol 😆 have a great day xoxo hugs

Good morning Gayle!

Love all the different ideas, I still make my covers like these ever since I first watched your videos😃 My Patchwork sometimes gives me trouble with my bobbin and I thought it was just me🤔 Have a great weekend Gayle. ~Shary~

Good afternoon Gayle! Watched and listened to part of this at work this morning, too many interruptions 😆, had to finish it when I got home. I love making covers and need to do a mass cover make to get my mojo going. It’s good to have a few spare covers at hand. Yours are great! 👍 Have a wonderful holiday weekend. 💕

I love this video!! You have some wonderful tips and give explanations why and used fabulous metaphors. Do the dogs miss you and Mr. A. when they go back to the children? Thank you for the prep time, video time, and time after the video to prepare for the next one. You are an incredible role model on so many levels and now for the YWCA!! Please know I love you and appreciate you💕🐬fabric hugs

Love your covers! Now I want to mass make some lol. I'm sure I wouldn't get 7 done in an hour but I will try my best. So happy you love your machine! I was lucky to score a Brother project runway machine. I loved it so much I bought another. I is for fabric only and the other for crafting. I'm not spoiled at all lol. Hugs.....

Good Morning Gayle! So happy your doing covers today, I have to sew material on the same Amazon packaging and I can follow your tutorial.. yay! I got a large bird and flower calendar from the thrift store a year ago and finally cut it down to journal covers, the calendar pages are a thick linen paper; nice and sturdy. Have a great crafting day!! 👍🌼🌼🌼

I am going to attempt a fabric collage cover for my quilting journal. I need to do some thinking about it first though. I like your method though and will do this in future journals for gifts.

BEAUTIFUL covers!! LOVE the butterfly fabric, & all the lace pockets!! 🦋💖 Ooh la la...so pretty is that color panel on your new sewing machine!! 😘❤🤗

Good morning. These are fantastic. I’m always looking for more cover ideas.

I was watching saying ‘no Gayle! Don’t glue the back on!’ I am going to go look through your play list to see if there is one with the quilting. I love the look of that and would like to try myself! Have a great long weekend! We have tomorrow off for Canada day here. 🥰

Good morning! I gotta try and make several covers like you! You seem to do them do fast! Thanks for sharing! Blessings!💕

I just tried my new machine, t he Singer Heavy Duty. So far so good. I guess my Stylist was a lemon. My best Singer was my grandma's treadle. If I could have gotten parts for it I'd still be using it.

❤️

Good morning, Gayle.

Yeah, we were telling you😆😆. I can see that the quilted cover with the more solid backside would have been nice quilted before the pocket had been added, but would you have also quilted the patchwork cover through the backside as well being that the quilting wouldn't have lined up on both sides?

ps- love that butterfly fabric! :)
