Interview

What's your name? Describe yourself in one sentence. 

Kate. I am a blogger, and public health professional work-at-home mom and I love to create. 

Who did you make this quiet book for? How old are they? 

I made this quiet book for my little man who is turning two. 

What's your level of sewing experience? 

I have been sewing for many years, but each pattern includes about 25 pages of instructions with lots of pictures so that people with very limited sewing experience can complete the pages. The pages can also be constructed using fusible webbing with minimal sewing. 

How long did it take you?

Each pages takes about 5 hours to complete. 

Did you use any templates? Where can they be found?

How did you bind your quiet book? 

I use a unique idea that allows you to keep the pages all together without permanently binding them using overall clips that come from the back page around to the front. That way you can grab only a few pages if you wish OR pass different pages out to different children. 

What material are the pages made out of? 

Felt.

What other materials did you use? 

Snaps, magnets, buttons, mirror, ribbon, and a variety of other materials. 

How much did all the supplies cost you? 

Many of the supplies can be found in your stash but the total cost for all supplies is probably around $40 to make the whole book with no coupons used. 

What's your favorite page? Why? 

Adam and Eve. I think the fox is adorable!

Havalah's Quiet Book

Happy New Year! I hope you had a good New Year's Eve and that today looks out on a bright year for you. I love the freshness of a new year and, like many of you, have some resolutions that I'm starting today. If you're trying to think of a resolution, might I suggest making a quiet book? Putting your ideas into action and actually creating this keepsake for a child you know could be a great project for you this year. :)

Going along with the freshness and brightness of the new year, I get to share a bright and crisp quiet book with you today! This awesome quiet book was made by Havalah from the blog Sisters, Sisters. (She, with her friends, also recently made a second quiet book in a quiet book exchange, which you can find here!) Her pages include activities based off art, scripture scenes, and nature scenes. And they are so colorful and fun! I know my own toddler would love her ocean page with all the different animals, and it makes me want to start making one right away. So enjoy Havalah's book, and be inspired!

I'm not sure exactly; it took me some time to do all the pages.

I love my shape pages and maze pages.

Kristina's Quiet Book

For all those non-sewers out there, today's quiet book is for you!

She made several versions of no-sew quiet books: magnetic, velcro, and vinyl. Below are pictures of her magnetic quiet book, and her printable quiet book available in her Etsy shop Mother's Niche on Etsy.

Interview

What's your name? Describe yourself in one sentence.  
Kristina.  If life consisted merely of creative projects I would be living a dream.

Who did you make this quiet book for? How old are they?  
My daughter and future children (my daughter is 14 months old and I'm pregnant with #2).

What's your level of sewing experience?  
Very beginner.

How long did it take you?  
To design the pages was probably 20 hours, to make the quiet book was probably less than an hour.

Did you use any templates? Where can they be found?  
Nope.  Since I couldn't find any "printable" or "no-sew" options at the time, I set out to make my own.

How did you bind your quiet book?  
Coil binding.

What material are the pages made out of?
Cardstock and lamination.

What other materials did you use?  
Velcro, magnets, or magnetic paint depending on the version.

How much did all the supplies cost you?  
Under $20 with exception to the magnetic paint version which was more.

What's your favorite page? Why?   
Daniel and the Lion's Den.  The concept of changing the Lion's moods from hungry to more pleasant just makes me giggle.
