My Quiet book...





My sister-in-law asked yesterday for pictures of my quiet book because she wants to make one. I thought I would post the pictures on here too.


I made this about 6 years ago (it gave me something to do while DH was getting his Master's Degree). It took me a long time because I sewed them by hand. I love hand sewing!

  3. great book!! some of the pages look familer, did you get them from mom? I think that my sisters got more of the creative gene from mom then I did. You ladies make such wonderful things.

  4. Hi,

    Talk about a small world- I am a fellow blogging mom and I just finished my quiet book and made a post today as well. I was wanting to include some links to other quiet books renditions in my post and came across your blog.

    I am SOOOOOO impressed with your quiet book! It is done so well. Those little outfits are just darling and sewn so well! I wish I would have seen this before I completed mine! You've got great ideas. Feel free to check out my blog and quiet book post if you want: www.fowlerfam.blogspot.com

  5. Ity, what kind of fabric did you make the actual pages from? I am gathering my ideas.

  6. Blackeyedsue: It is a 200 count muslin leftover from another project that I did. I also ironed on fusible interfacing onto the back of each page so it would be sturdier.

  8. Thanks for the great ideas!!! Have you thought about posting explicit directions how to do this? Do you have patterns or are just naturally good at drawing? Seriously AMAZING!!! Thanks so much!!!!
