| Long Stitch Book with Tacket Binding and Woven Spine |
The spine is the star of this book. I first did a long stitch binding. Next I wove the four signature linen threads together. That took a bit of time as one had to be careful to not pull in the threads to the center of the spine. It would have made the weaving look weird. I then did tacket binding on the top and bottom eight threads. When I looked at the completed spine and I thought there needed to be some additional forest green on the top and bottom. So I did some additional tacket binding in the middle ones.

Amazing to me, and so beautiful.
It looks like a cloth cover, too. Was this part of your mother’s fabric stash? I love the color combination with the green linen thread...and wow! What a lot of work that weaving was...it’s beautiful.
The weaving adds a wonderful texture to the spine and elevates it into something very artistic instead of just very functional. You do make the best books, John!
