Which do you like better? I&#8217;m torn &#8211; the blue certainly photographs better, but in real life the white provides a subtle contrast with the filler paper that I like as well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So\u00c2\u00a0earlier I posted a sneak peek\u00c2\u00a0of an up close look at the chain stitching on a coptic stitch journal I&#8217;ve been working on.
