Quiet Book!!

Whew... I completed the quiet books for baby gifts. It was very fun and engaging. I made up the pattern and designed as I went. I made two at a time so it took quite a while. However, I am happy I made two at once (that way I had to get them both done!). So here are the pictures. It was so hard to trim the amount of pictures down. So the rest are on Picasa.

The front cover



Frog. The frog's tongue slides in and out of his mouth.



Camel. Move the beads along the camel's reins.



Dog. Tie the bow on the puppies collar.


Fish. Make the fish jump out of the fishbowl.



Ladybug. Take the baby ladybugs out of the mommy ladybug.


Horse. Braid the horses mane.




Sheep. Feel the soft wool of the sheep.



Owl. Wake the owl to see him flap his wings.



How I put the book together. The binder rings worked really good! It makes turning the pages easier. I used eyelets for the holes, pretty easy... the hardest part is getting everything lined up!

What a special and creative gift! Did you do all the letters in the alphabet?

Blessings & Aloha!
since I have many unfinished sewing projects...I am always curious to know how long it took for someone to complete theirs :o)

I didn't do all the letters of the alphabet. These are the only ones I did. It took me around a month or so.... (with just sewing in the evenings)
