Latest Sewing Project

*Spoiler alert to Tim and Heather: The following contains a portion of your Christmas present so if you would like to be surprised, stop here :)

A few years ago Rob's mom made quilted quiet books for my kids. There is a jungle themed one, a color one, one with different modes of transporation, a Christmas story one and a touchy-feely one. I've been wanting to make one and decided to make a color one for my brother's family, who we buy for Christmas this year. Each page is basically like a quilt block and then you sew them all together to make a book. A fun project...the hardest part was finding fabric for the center of each page.

Very nice! I'm overwhelmed by my little homemade projects, and they're tiny compared to yours!
