Bonus Video Pt 3 ~ The Needle Book: Scrappy Patches:

[@brendagoulette759]

I didn't think it was a long video. I love your eco printing. It's so beautiful ❤️. Try not to listen to negativity. Those people are miserable in their own life. I can't say enough how happy I am that you started doing videos❤

[@annrubino6252]

You're just keeping it real, Jeri. The result is more than worth all your experimenting.

[@JeriBellini]

Isn't that the truth, and sometimes I forget I'm talking to thousands of people. I think of everyone as a friend I'm spending the afternoon with... and wish I was! 🩷

[@lauraleeharden8358]

I just found your video about 2 weeks ago, and I absolutely love how down to earth you are, keep it real and keep having fun, after all that is what crafting is all about..❤❤❤

[@JeriBellini]

I can't help myself actually, LOLOLOL I'm so glad we found each other! 🩷

[@k3n.clothtales]

I find filming book binding the most stressful thing to do. Because when I do it alone, I have my nose right in there for starters or I can't see a thing 😂 that's why I film one signature and do the rest off camera. I think you did a great job, I love that it's authentic you and not slick and 'perfect'. I think it encourages people that they can have a go rather than being intimidating. If that makes sense. 😂❤

[@JeriBellini]

YES! My big fat head gets in the way sometimes too, LOL and Done is Better than Perfect! 🩷 I appreciate you being here so much!

[@sheilaborger5601]

Your videos are fabulous, dear lady, and welcome to the ADD club! I consider it a creative super power😂 I am new to your channel, but I fully intend on going back and finding your older videos -- , you are so talented, and a good and cheerful teacher to boot!❤

[@JeriBellini]

Oh I was thinking about re making some of the older vids, the filming was poorly done and I've learned so much, but do enjoy them and remember it was a LONG time ago that they were made. YES to the Super Power! I'm going to use that phrase now! Have a grateful weekend! 🩷

Beautiful! I came to see you from Nina Ribena’s channel. I’m so happy she recommended we go see you!

Oh Janet, I'll be back and keep being back unless something really bad happens to me! Sending more hugs your way! 🩷

[@k-creationskristinhuxford4531]

I love that you recorded your struggles and was brave enough to post it for the world to see. That takes real courage. I have only made one needle book but am an experienced book binder and I can support you in saying working with fabric to make a book is a real struggle! Thank you for persevering and finishing the job!

[@JeriBellini]

Yes, it wants to wiggle all over the place. Be assured I will persevere and make another one so I can conquer the obstacles of making fabric pages! Meanwhile you called me brave. When I was 4 years old, I decided I wanted to see my gram and walked blocks and crossed major streets to do so. I have no idea where my mom was... LOLOLOLOL When I get it in my head to do something I can be pretty brave. Thank you for making me recall that memory! 🩷

I find it is easier if you clip the pages to the cover like you would do for a paper journal which would give you more control. I love the books and idea of this. Thank you for sharing.

Welcome to you!!! Ninas book is great! I love her work, and I'm grateful that she mentioned my channel. See ya on Fridays when I release new vids! 🩷

[@kb9847]

I appreciate watching the creative process. I often feel bad when I watch a video and it seems so easy for the creator. So thanks for showing your human side. Also, for people watching take what you like and leave the rest. I see watching videos as an opportunity to get inspired. Jeri, I recommend listening to Taylor Swift “Shake it Off” And have that as your mantra. Do what you love, film it and you will collect your tribe. ❤️❤️

[@JeriBellini]

I will look that up! Honestly, it's not the negative comment that I struggle with, they bother me for a hot second and then poo.... but I did want to share that part of making videos along with just in general getting older can be... interesting and some days its just hard. I'm SURE there are worse comments out there than mine! LOL I just LOVE collecting my Tribe! I'm going to use that line... 😂🥰 Thank you so much for your comment! 🩷

Jeri… your videos are amazing and I enjoy watching them … rewatching them often! Fabric books.. can be difficult. I suggest basting the center of each “signature” then use that as a guide to line it up. It’s awesome to see YOU havin fun..

[@JeriBellini]

I did finally figure it out, the basting sounds like a good idea! I'm so happy that I inspire you! 💜💜💜

[@DianeSavage-s5d]

Just LOVE your little book! It is adorable. Don't worry, I will be back! You are my favorite on KZbin. Your eco print paper is fabulous. Wish you sold just one sheet of it (no mat, no frame) in your Etsy shop.

[@deborahmeyer-y4m]

Oh, Jeri. You and I go down the same rabbit holes! lol I binge watched all three video parts today and giggled right along with you. Dang those naysayers! Dagnabbit! Try to laugh when you read them. They just don't understand about having fun and trying to figure something out. I was wondering how it would work to clip the pages to the cover, also to hold them in place? Maybe that would work or maybe not. Worth a try. You are just so much run and a joy to watch. I love how this little book turned out! ADORABLE!! Blessings.

[@JeriBellini]

Blessings back to you! Try it, I think the clips would work! 💜

[@aminihobby-kelley]

You are true and authentic, and that is a beautiful thing! You do not need to apologize for who you are or how you are, because you are exactly the way you are meant to be. Those who “think your stitches are too small” can just move on along- this is free content after all, and not a paid for course. People can be so silly and mean - try not to waste your beautiful thoughts and time on them, and know, that they have the problem, not you. Continue on being you!!❤❤❤
