Remember these from my last post?
I also had some ice-dyed silk noil that I could use as the cover.
However I decided not to make a conventional book but to make a scroll book. I tore up all of the above pieces into smaller strips. I took a piece of dyed cotton that I was never going to use for the backing. I forgot to take a photo so this was taken after I had started stitching.
I put Bondaweb on the backing fabric, laid the strips of silk noil on top and ironed them to bond them all together.
I have started randomly stitching on this piece, particularly where the bonding didn't work too well.
Here's a close up of the extended fly stitch. There's also running stitch. I'm using variegated thread from Paintbox Threads.
Thanks for stopping by

Lovely, Bricks under a canal I think, with textures of a slightly crumbling surface, and reflections from the water.
