Camping! S’mores! Lanterns! This page is sponsored by American Felt and Craft, who provided the felt and crinkle material. When AF&C reached out to me about providing felt for some of my designs, I knew it was meant to be… The next page I had planned to make was a camping one, and the gorgeous(…)
I have some super creative readers! I love when you guys take my patterns and change them, embellish them or completely twist them into something unique and new! Here is a version of my cupcake page sewn by Jaclyn S. My goal was to make this page even more interactive by making the eggs open(…)
The is page is a fun way to use up all those scraps of felt you generate while making a quiet book. Plus, it is a lot of fun to play with! You can match the vehicles to the buildings they go with, drive on the roads or “park” them for storage by tucking the(…)
I’m almost done the city quiet book page that I’ve been creating with my scraps of recycled polyester felt. But for my next quiet book page, I’ll be using beautiful wool blend felt provided by our new sponsor, American Felt and Craft (more on that here.) I’ve never worked with it before, and I’m really(…)
I took a little break from making quiet book pages and patterns to do some sewing purely as a creative outlet. I wanted something that could be used as the newest masthead at the top of the blog (Not reading this on the site? Come see!) and also be framed and hung up on the(…)
A quick note: Don’t forget to enter out blog-iversary giveaway for a chance to win a kit to sew your very own Farmer’s Market quiet book page! You have until Wednesday. I am super excited to have this page all done. It’s one of the pages I’ve known I wanted to do since I was(…)
Our little blog is 1 year old this month! While I’ve been making websites since 1997 and blogging since 1998, it wasn’t until I had my little Jax that I decided to create a separate blog for all things crafty, creative and kid-friendly in our lives. It actually took a few months before I started(…)
I’ve been quiet here on the blog while working on a large sewing project, though I’ve been posting regular updates on the Facebook page. I took a break from quiet book sewing to make a birthday present for one of Jax’s friends who was turning 2 years old. His friend adores all of Eric Carle’s(…)
I love seeing what others create with my quiet book patterns! Now that they have been online for a little while, I’m starting to see so many great photos of the work you all have done! Keep the photos coming! I will be featuring galleries of each page. If you’ve used one of my patterns(…)
At last, I have another quiet book pattern for you! I got a little bit carried away on the details of this one, as I did everything but the veggies while on vacation at the beach. Feel free to simplify things wherever you need to. Someone on the Facebook page suggested I do a farmer’s(…)
“It’s a rainy, sunny day. The rainbow‘s here to play!” Jax loves color and he really loves rainbows! It was inevitable that a rainbow page had to happen. It took a while for me to decide what exactly to do. My first thought was a rainbow stacker that comes out of a cloudy pocket. But,(…)
