Mila's Quiet Book

Mila's quiet book is done! I am very pleased with how it turned out.

 I got some new yellow terry cloth for the lamb.

I had the cutest ghost appliqué for this, but I dropped it and lost it. I looked for twenty minutes and could not find it. Craig came in and looked - no luck. I am a bit disappointed in how plain the page looks now.

 No, "Step" is not misspelled. Lisa called me after I sent her this photo thinking it had been, but it is a hump in the fabric that hides the "t".

 An old favorite. Makes me think of my dad.

 I may spiff up the background the next time I do this page.

But I LOVE the giraffe I found in the dollhouse section of Hobby Lobby. I need to go back and get some more!

 I can now squeeze five dresses onto this page, haha!

 The Purdue and Illinois appliqués reflect Curt and Vanessa's college preferences.

The fluffy fur on Millie is to die for!! And the clip on earrings are stinkin' cute. I love how this page turned out. (My mother drew the dog a few years ago.)

I was excited to find the hotdog and the popcorn appliqués for this page and have ordered some more for future quiet books.

 I am trying to think of a way to make the crown removable so it can be played with but just haven't figured it out yet.

 My mom drew the palm tree for this one a while ago.

Inside is a tiny purse that's on a hook and can be clipped to things. Inside the purse is an orange M&M.

First time page! I saw a pattern book on Etsy that had a counting rainbow in it and just adapted it for my own use. I am pleased with how it turned out.

 Vanessa chose the fabric for the cover. It has pink unicorns on it and is beautiful.

Per usual, I made a matching pillow for Mila out of the leftover cover fabric.

(What an odd coincidence. I finished Titan's book on the anniversary of Craig's mom's passing, and Mila's on the anniversary of my dad's death.)
