Sock Matching Quiet Book Page

This time I would like to show you my sock matching felt quiet book page.

The inspiration came from Stephanie at Imagine our Life, but I created my own desing.

The socks can be stored in the washing mashine and the door is locked with a small magnet. After washing the socks, you can hang them to dry on clothes lines.

Besides pairing the socks originally I wanted to add clothespins (clothes pegs) to the page, but the ones I found were not “child proof” pins, they broke after the first use, so I didn’t replaced the broken ones. By the way, do you know where I can find some small clothespins that will last longer than two minutes in the hands of a four years old?

Cheers,

  

Memory Quilt from Baby Clothes Part 3

This weekend was also working on my memory quilt from baby clothes.

Opened a new box whit my precious baby clothes, here you can see a part of it after stabilised them with clothing interfacing.

After cutting I had about 100 new squares (no crazy ones this time), and a total of 144 squares. Still need to sew a few crazy ones...

Memory Quilt from Baby Clothes Part 2

This weekend I continued working on my new memory quilt from baby clothes.

I worked on my second set of clothes and cut about 50 more small squares.

While cutting I saved all special patterns from onesies and then started to sew the crazy squares. Together there are more than 40. I have a few longer patterns that I didn't wanted to cut, I will deal with them later.

Memory Quilt from Baby Clothes

Yes, I started another memory quilt :) I'm using baby cloths from my daughter and the goal is to create a queen size memory quilt.

We all liked the design of my previous memory quilts (see the pink memory quilt and red memory quilt) so I will do something similar, but this time will use every colour I have. The squares are going to be 10 cm by 10 cm (about 4” by 4”) with a few larger special elements. This type of quilt requires lots of baby cloths, I started with the first batch this weekend. I finished cutting the onesies, shirts, different baby cloths and stabilised them clothing interfacing and ended up with about 50 squares 10 cm by 10 cm and a heap of scraps for my crazy squares. I also have some larger pieces I will decide what to do with them later. It was a very strange feeling the cat those tiny baby clothes, I had to focus on the resulting quilt that will be so precious for all of us.

This is going to be a very long project, I will update you regularly.

Cheers,

  

Felt Flowers Quiet Book Page

I made this page a long time ago because I wanted to do a page that my daughter can enjoy but can also help her with her manual dexterity.

Since she was just started to learn how to button a shirt, I made some large and some smaller buttons to start with. She chose the colour for the flowers and I made sure that each of them is attached to the background felt so they don’t get lost the second I turn around.

Felt Solar System

A few weeks ago my daughter had a presentation at her science class about our solar system. We made together a small Power Point presentation but I also wanted something for her that is not digital. So I made a felt solar system.

I saw something similar at Stephanie, but I wanted to make with my own design. Here is the result...

The asteroid belt is made of some mineral beads:

The Kuiper belt made of some small white and clear beads:

Felt planets:

Felted Table Topper

Just wanted to show you what I found yesterday...

I was cleaning the dresser from our guest room when I found my old felted table topper. I made it about 20 years ago at a festival. It is a wet felted table runner made from wool. The original colour was natural creamy white with red and grey highlights. It is 26 cm wide and 38 cm long (~10" by 15") and actually it is in a pretty good condition considering that it is my only wet felted table runner and was made 20 years ago without any experience... I remember that I also made a felted ball matching this table topper but I just can't find it. I think I should clean another dresser...

Cheers,
