QUIET BOOK GROUP

Okay ladies and gents I am putting together a quiet book group. Who wants to join, we want you? (Mindee, Nicole, Lisa, Dallas, Andrea, Summer, Lindsey) you guys already said you wanted to so I am holding you to it!!!
Here are the specifics.

Completion Date: End of April
# of pages: However many girlies sign up will be the number of pages you will need to complete


Rules for the Quiet Book Collaboration:
these are the rules from my last quiet book group (thanks Mary)
  1. No criticizing others' work; accept that handmade=imperfect which is perfectly fine.
  2. Pages should be 12"x12" unfinished, but please keep the outside 1/2" clear for seams.
  3. Pages should be left unbound, allowing participants to put them in the order they prefer. More about binding and covers later...
  4. Comment with a brief description (hyperlink photos if you'd like) of two or three pages you could possibly make. Rank them in order of preference. This is to avoid redundancies in the book. We don't want every page to be a velcro activity--boring.
  5. I will contact you with your page assignment within a week so we can get started...I can hardly wait! In the meantime, spread the word if you have any friends or family who might want to be involved. This isn't meant to be exclusive.

Recommendations:
  1. Use washable, preshrunken fabric like muslin or other woven cotton for the 12"x12" backgrounds(I've used old sheets and pillowcases). Felt is great for the cut pieces and doesn't need to be preshrunken.

And it has links to about 20 other blogs that have quiet book pages on them, but you have to look for them on some of the other blogs. Some are religious, some are not. Here's a few links from the main page:
