LEVI'S QUIET BOOK



I decided my first DIY share would be a project that is a lot of  fun to do but also extremely time consuming, a Quiet Book that I made for my grandson Levi!



.
                The front cover is a picture of my grandson which I printed on fabric.




There are many options for a house page and pictures of your family in the windows makes it personal!




The idea for the running shoe came from:leafytreetopspot.blogspot.com/
I personalized it with a few details.


The inspiration for this SPORTS 
page came from:.elisaloves.com




There are a lot of different barn pages out there. I took my idea
 I added the silo instead of the embroidered windmill.


The finger puppet animals can be  found at:floralblossom.blogspot.com



The Garden page idea came from leafytreetopspot.blogspot.com 
 with a few additions by me.



Every book needs a shapes page.I decided to use sew on snaps as they were easier for little hands to snap and unsnap. A pocket to hold the shapes is necessary.


And a counting page. I found the numbers at joann.com






I love the toolbox from:  servingpinklemonade.blogspot.com and the tutorial and patterns are great! I didn't get the screws and bolts made but he loved it anyway.




A little machine embroidery on the back cover.

ALL THE PAGES! 
There were so many more I wanted to do but they
 will have to come later.














I still look at all the pictures everyone posts and love new ideas.

Have fun creating!
