I needed a small journal for a dedicated project, and so I went back to Mary Ann's Full Tilt Boogie (and her class is on sale!) and created a journal using the third binding she taught. And I finished sewing it while watching Laurence Olivier's Hamlet.
This is the binding ... it's called Triple Chain stitch.
The covers...
![]() |
| Paper Source paper covered the back board of a paper pad |
The inside consists of old ledger paper and canvas paper. (it's primed canvas)
![]() |
| security envelope (turned inside out), ledger paper |
![]() |
| ledger paper |
The first signature is all ledger paper (plus that large security envelope), the other two are canvas with some more ledger paper for additional notes.
Have you made anything this past week or two?

Leanne, this is so beautiful! I love your stitiching, and the purple thread, too!
This is so cheerful... I love the cover paper. My favorite colors! And the stitching is perfect with a good choice for paper for the pages! I have yet to complete ONE journal but hope to get there someday. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi! I came across your blog by way of the full tilt boogie posts. Nice journal, love the ledger paper. I have come to use a lot of vintage book text since making the full tilt boogie journals.
I also wanted to say how much I am uplifted by your sharing the message of love and hope. Thanks!
Leanne, your journal is really beautiful. Love the papers you used in it. Thanks for sharing.

A wonderful journal Leanne - love all the ledger papers you have used and the envelope too.
