Quiet Book
I was doing a little after Christmas shopping at our local craft store the other day (Ben Franklin for you local girls) and I saw this cute fabric panel. Usually I don't like panel projects but this one caught my eye. I love the illustrations, they remind me of my childhood picture books. I love the colors, almost a jewel tone feeling. So I cleared off the table in the crap room and went to work.

I love it. Of course, I love anything old-fashioned! My mom made several cloth books for my children when they were toddlers!

I am so jealous!! YOU have a Ben Franklin's near you! We had a teeny one close by (for years), then they closed it (about 3 years ago). I LOVE that place--you could always find great stuff in there--just like YOU did!!
I loved your "organizing and cleaning out" post! I just smiled and smiled, cuz your storage area looks like mine! Bet your's looks much neater now!
Have a great weekend! Dana
Love, love, love it! I'm off to Ben Franklins
OH, I LOVE IT!!!!
That book is darling. It seems like something that should go in that cute Tiffany's kids bedroom. I'm going to Ben Franklins today, I'll have to go and check it out!
I too love those prints. So sweet and vintage. Thanks for sharing them with us! :)

Those ARE ADORABLE! I always go to Ben Franklin when I hit the valley....You must be on the west coast! cherry
Hey thanks for coming right over to visit my little post. I'm in LOVE with this adorable Quiet Book. Love the colors and the pictures.
Thanks so much for the photo of your "stuff" in the basement. You talk about your "crap room"...well I have a crap garage. I think this sort of stuff (madness) just goes along with having a creative mind. Anyway, it made me feel a lot better. : ) And I loved the little dolls you found from your childhood...precious!
I love those illustrations--they're so whimsical and cute.
SO cute!! I swear, you have always got a fun project in the works. Where do you find the time to do it all???
Care to share your secrets?? ;)
The book is adorable, Mimi Sue!
Hugs,

Oh Mimi Sue! The quiet book turned out darling! LOVE the fabric panel!!! Reminds me of the quiet books I made for my kids that I should be making for my little grandbabes! Perfect for sacrament meeting!
Hugs, Maryjane
Oh this is darling! Don't you wish you still had your quiet book! I know I do.
How precious! I didn't know there were any Ben Franklin's left; that was a store from my childhood, but then it was a "5 & 10"... haha, I'm really telling my age now, huh?
Hi Sue...my husband asked why I was laughing and I told him how I love you ladies and te funny thing you right on your blogs....like referring to your crafts room as the 'crap room"...I love that...I also have one of those crap rooms...
