Those are great!! I like the idea of the yarn attached as a bookmark.

I will see if I can write out the instructions plainly enough for those of you who want the pattern to understand it. We made bookcovers at our guild meeting to sell at our botique for our quilt show last summer....just adjust the sizes as you would need them. I will get back with a write-up soon.

I used my "sun paints" with foamie letters to make the labels for the front and then attached them with the sewing machine with varigated thread. Embroidering them would be great also.

They are all pretty. I especially like the one for Nick. I would like the pattern also.

These are really clever! You could add a pen loop, too...

Joanne, if you have FOURTEEN grandkids, you better get going on these for Christmas.....! Wow, dat's a lotta book covers!
