Quiet Book

Posted on 16. Sep, 2011 by Trish in Crafts

When I was little I remember my mom having a fabric book for us to play with at church.  We had to pick the apples off the tree, and braid the girl’s hair.  Basically it was a book of quiet activities for us to play to keep us quiet.

I decided long ago that I wanted to do one for my daughter, and even started working on a few pages.  Nothing ever really came of it though.  Then last year for Christmas my sister said she wanted one too, and that hasn’t happened yet either.

So recently I decided I really needed to get going on it.  I hosting a swap on a forum where everyone made 12 pages, kept one, and then sent the others in.  Then I divided all the pages up and sent them back.  For every spot they signed up for, they got 11 pages back.

It was an awesome swap, and a lot of cool pages were done.  Now I actually have to put the pages all together and get a book finished!

These were the three pages I made.

The top of the egg is on a brad so it hinges and you can open it and pull the chick out.  Then the cars are attached and you can drive them across the page.  The last is a flower pot where the flowers come unbuttoned.

Maybe I’ll have it done in time for Christmas this year!
