ibht2k2, this is wonderful - great job - so the designs are from different web sites and you have just picked the ones that you wanted in the book? Did you stitch a little eyelet hole for the binding? How did you create this - give us the detials - come on - PLEASE????

Thank you!
Designs are from different sites. I stitched them on muslum, put the designs back to back and put batting in between. That way, my grandson can chew on it and it can be washed without loosing its shape. I made 3 button holes on each page and strung the pages together with ribbon. You can also use rings from the stationary store. If you use ribbon it must be shorter than 6 inches so baby can't strangle on it if he gets it untied.

Wonderful job. That black cat is so cute! I like the idea of binding them together by making buttonholes.

Very nice. I have been thinking of doing this with some of my stitch outs. I was unsure how to assemble them into a book though. I did not want to stitch the spine, since it might get too thick. It looks like you used button holes to put the pages together. This has inspired me to get busy!
