Quiet book: Space pages

These are some of my favorites. The Tardis and comet are removable so Luke can fly them around space. He likes to land the Tardis on the moon, while making the landing sound. He is a cool kid. 

Quiet book: Abacus page

This abacus page is pretty fun. I saw a ton of abacus pages in other quiet books online, but they all used pony beads. I really wanted it to be all felt.

Quiet book: Shapes page

This was a very early page. I traced the shapes from Luke's shape sorter so they would be a consistent size. Originally I had embroidered "shapes" across the top, but it was too thin. I ended up tracing stick on letters and cutting them out in white. Luke loves this page, especially the heart and star, which ate two of his favorite shapes. He always runs off with them. 

Luke's Quiet Book pt. 1

I stared making this quiet book for my son Luke last summer. It took me a several mints to finish, there were many nights I stayed up in to the early morning working on it, determined to finish this or that before going to sleep. (It is really hard to sew with a toddler running around!) It's made almost entirely of felt, save for the flannel cover and clear vinyl on some pages. All the pages were sewn my hand, then I used my machine to sew the pages together and to make the cover. I got a lot of inspriation from looking at other quiet books I could find online. I found the blog Imagine Our Life particularly helpful with all her tutorials and patterns. Quite a few of my pages were inspired by her designs. I really enjoyed this project. I was kinda sad when I finished it, I think I will make another one soon.
