quiet book, page 1

I'm excited to be starting a project that has been on my radar for a while. I've always wanted to make Oscar a quiet book for church, and he is just getting to the age that I think he will enjoy it.

Tonight I finished my first page:


The first two pages are inspired by a favorite Primary song that I sing to Oscar every morning when he wakes up. Hopefully he will enjoy all the textures. It always makes him smile.

I machine sewed the felt tree, hand sewed the bird, and embroidered the writing. To keep the embroidery tidy, I printed out the text using a favorite font and traced it onto the fabric using a water soluble pen. I don't trust my own handwriting. :)

So, this is the first of ten pages to be completed. My goal is to do one page a day ... starting after Easter.
