Northland Chapter monthly meeting

Piano hinge binding was our challenge for October.  Anne found the instructions on this lovely blog http://bumblingacrossletterboxes.blogspot.co.nz/2012/08/how-to-make-piano-hinge-book.html  practiced a few samples in advance, and undertook to guide us through the day. Precise measuring and cutting were required in order to produce even hinges and a book which opens easily.  This style of binding results in a journal which would lend itself to holding photos or other such ephemera, such as small sketches or paintings.
