Quiet Book Pages!!!!

First of all, can I get a Woot woot!? This post should probably wait until the quiet book is totally done, but I'm so excited about it tonight! Over a year ago I decided I wanted to make a quiet book for Eli. My friend Jessie and I went in on the project together. We have been stalled along the way, but tonight I have my pages finished!!!! I decided about 2 weeks ago that I really wanted to get this project off my to do list. It has taken over my sewing room, and I want to move on to other things. Plus, Eli is getting to the age where he could really use it. And, I needed something to do during nap time that didn't involve the TV. Several pages just needed little things: a button here, glued on eyes there. And a few pages needed more work. But here they are, in all their glory!


 {Alphabet Page: Felt on felt sticks well to each other. If it is terrible/doesn't work, I'll suck it up and do velcro}
 {Build the caterpillar: caterpillar pieces snap on and off, and can be put in cocoon}

 {Tie the Shoes}
 
 {Zipper page, camping style!}
{Dress the Boy page. More outfits in "dresser"}

{Five Little Ducks page. The Little ducks snap on and off and can got into the pouch "behind the hill"}

 
 {Puzzles! Three different puzzles in all}
{My scariest/hardest page. Each Animal has a touch and feel aspect (lion's mane, elephant ears, seals are polar fleece, lift the aquarium flap and feel the "rocks" and fish), plus it is a counting page, the wheels button on and off. I'm thinking about adding some balls above the seals' noses to snap on and off, but I don't think it is needed since so much is going on already}

11 pages in all! Can't wait to get these all bound and covered so Eli can play with it in Church. Like I said, it has taken over my sewing room, and I am ready for it to be done. Just a few more days to finalize everything. I'll do another post when it is ALL done! I'll also post where I got my inspiration and several patterns in that post.

I love these! This is on my list as well to do. I already have a list of pages I want to do but my goodness it looks like it will take quite a bit of time! Good job Em!

yeah! Great job! Its so satisfying to get it DONE... and you've got the hard/time consuming parts all done. putting it together and binding it will feel so fast. I really love your animal train page and the 5 little ducks page (great idea!!!).
