Quiet Book

For Mother's Day Ben got me a brand new Brother sewing machine which I LOVE. I think about coming home to my Brother all day and go to sleep thinking about what I'm going to sew the next day. Right now I am working on a quiet book for Alex. Most of the pages have been hand sewn but the cover was sewn with my machine (yay!) and I thought it was worthy of a post.







The first page has been my favorite so far. Not because it is all that exciting but because it looks exactly like Alex's actual window. The fabric for the "valance" and curtain is the leftover from the fabric I made Alex's actual window treatments out of. They also pull the same way.





I am very excited to share more pages soon!

That is the most clever thing I have ever seen! It's so cute that it's his window and it looks SO professional. What a talent you have!

It looks great! Btw, your little guy is getting so cute a chubby. That's my favorite stage!

I want you to move close enough to me that I can enjoy your sewing talent (and new sewing machine) first hand. You are so good, and you deserved a new machine - I'm glad you are putting it to good use.
