As Quiet As....

I am in a swap and we are making a little felt book with the theme 'As quiet as...'.  Each of us makes 9 felt pages with little sewn ATC's on it.  So, those who know me will be asking why I joined!!  Sewing is not one of my strong suits... I can play with paper for hours but give me a needle and thread and the enthusiasm really doesn't compensate for the lack of skill, but I did my best and when I was little my parents told me that 'doing your best' was good!!
So here are the nine pages in felt!
and I chose 'as quiet as... a flutterby's flight' and even did that blanket stitch thing around the edges!!  Only 3 edges you ask?  Well, there are two reasons for that... one is lazyness... do you know how hard it is to turn a corner using blanket stitch? ;) and the other is more practical... I am thinking that when it comes to bind the pages into one book that less fatness on the bound edge will be a good.  (that's my story, and I am sticking to it)!!
