A few years ago I started collecting quiet books. I love them. I think I've made 4 all together. I have 6 pattern books. They're so detailed and time consuming, they do take awhile to make, but the results are so worth it. Normally I do these on muslin. However, this week I have discovered something new. Quiet books can also be made on a material called pellon. It's amazing stuff. Especially because I just found out you can print directly onto the stuff if it's cut down to the right size. And you can even print in color. The color is a little bit light, but I think I can fix that by coloring lightly over it with crayon. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities. I envision doing a bunch of file folder games in one big book. I have plans to get one done for each of my kids for Valentines day. It might just happen with this new technique, I'll post when it's done.

Tell us more -- where do the patterns come from, and how do they work? Can you post pictures of the ones you've completed? I've heard of Pellon interfacing -- is that the product you're using? I'm just really curious about this!!
I just might have to come over one day and do some with you. I have been wanting to do something that Austin can do during church quitely. I like the ones lisa has and think you have them too. Mind if I borrow some?
Hi, Jess. Just wanted to let you know that "we" have sold at least a half dozen copies of Mother Earth... since I saw it on your blog and ordered my own copy. Everyone at work who sees it heads home and orders it (or multiple copies) that night. Thanks again.
