Finished Quiet Book!

Yay! It is done, and has been for a few weeks. But now I can share the completed project. Obviously, my previous post showed all the pages that I did, but this post will show the completed book, with my friend Jessica's pages. If you want to see more about her pages go here. I will also share where I got my ideas/patterns. So...enjoy!
Front Cover. I took some old jeans and cut the legs to make my cover. Harder to do than I thought since the jeans were flare leg, had stretch, and were well loved/stretched out. It took some convincing to get the denim as straight at possible. But hey, it was free!
Alphabet page. I used the back pockets of the jeans I cut up to hold the letters. The letters are just flocked, iron-on letters from Jo-Ann.

 Jessie did the Shapes/Weaving page. I got my idea for the Caterpillar from this website: http://aprongirls.blogspot.com/2010/08/quiet-book.html
 Jessie did this cute Road page.

Here you can see the other 2 puzzles I created for Eli. A tooth (in honor of David), and the fish page below.

 Dress the boy I just found a clip art I liked for the shape of the boy, then traced around it to make my patterns for clothes.
Tent page I made my own pattern.
Jessie did the barn and sock matching pages

Jessie also did these seasons pages.

Jessie did the clock page. I created my own pattern for the mail page.

I made up the 5 little ducks page
I got my pattern for the shoe page here:   http://leafytreetopspot.blogspot.com/2010/05/quiet-book-page-lacing-shoe.html
The animal train page was a mixture of my own creativity, and some help from this circus train page found here:

And Jessie did the Mr. Potato Head page.

All in all, I'm happy with the way the book came out. And I am sooooo glad that it is done! After I finished it, I went about cleaning my sewing room so that I can move on to other projects!

Hahaha... I still haven't cleaned my sewing room up from the book. The mess I made is a bit overwhelming! Perhaps one day... ;)
