cool book. bad photos.

I finished this beautiful Pride and Prejudice-inspired book for a wonderful customer of mine this past week and after spending many hours perfecting its every detail apparently didn't have the sense to realize I was photographing the finished work in extremely poor light. Still, I think it's worthy of showing the outcome despite the terrible photos.
The final page is a quote from Pride and Prejudice, by Mr. Darcy, "I cannot fix on the hour, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun." Stitched in Jane Austen font.

It's a very personalized book so some things may not make sense to the casual viewer but hopefully it will be a cherished keepsake for the family and their newest addition.

    OK insert expletives, because I suppose it's too classy of a book to write it in print, but can't help but say it in my head. How did you do this?? It's wonderful and lovely and exquisitely Jane. Nicely done V!
