Phew!

Can I get a Hallelujah, Amen?!  I finished all of the quiet book pages and they're done on time!!  I was really sweating it.  Every time I thought I was almost done I'd realized there was another time consuming step to complete.  The exchange takes place tonight, so I'm relieved that I got everything done last night.  I based these sheets off of the design at Imagine our Life.  It's a matching magnetic socks page with a dryer for sock storage.


The socks took the most time - cutting them all out, changing the thread color for the applique, and adding magnets.

Here's the dryer:

This is the first time I've sewn with felt and clear vinyl, so that was interesting.  I broke a needle at the thickest part, but luckily I had a sturdier needle on hand, so that was the only casuality of the project (besides my sanity).

I made 9 pages of both for the quiet book exchange.  The pages are 9" x 11" (for a 1/2" allowance for the binding. 



The only hand sewn part of the project was the snap of the dryer. 
I'm so glad these are done - I know it will be worth it once I get all of the other pages, but this will definitely be a one time adventure.  :)
I'm linking up to TGIFF.  Check out the other finished projects.
