I am happy to help but I must admit that coptic stitching is easier to do than explain – and the rainbow book you like is coptic stitching using two needles which is even MORE complicated and I’m not even sure I did it properly!
I will see if I can write some instructions for you and e-mail them to you.
If you read the comment above yours, then you will see I recommend a book which is where I learned to do this stitching. Also check out Cailun.info. in my links on the right.

And i am pretty impressed :-) I would like to make one for myself at home, a cute and colourful book just like one of yours and would like to learn how to make a book in detail. Can you guide me please? I would like to make one for myself, just like yours, this one preferably- http://dianealdred.com/2007/07/29/somewhere-over-the-rainbow/ , You can contact me and help me out by mailing me at my email address. I would like to know how to make a book from the scratch, and will be very pleased if you help me :-) Thanks.

If you check out the Cailun link on my page it will take you to a blog and web site that has lots of great ideas and techniques. I also use a book called ‘Non Adhesive Binding – Books without Paste or Glue’ by Keith A. Smith which is very good indeed. You can get it on Amazon.

I am always either finding fault with the stuff I make, beit books or calligraphy, or I fall in love with it and can’t bear to part with it!

I have had some commissions but I always photograph them so I can remember them. They are like my babies!
