HaLLoWeEn QiEt BoOk

This is my twist on a Halloween Quiet book that I saw while shopping in Gracie Lous Quilt Shoppe. It is not even near done, but I wanted to get it posted quickly, just in case someone wanted to borrow the idea before Halloween.
  First start by cutting felt into 5x5in squares. (Unless you want it bigger) I cut out 9 squares.
 Begin picking some fabrics you like, I picked some I wanted to sew together on one page as well.
 Cut that fabric just slightly smaller than 5x5in. *You will be cutting around the edges with pinking(spelling?) shears so the fabric wont fray.
 Find some embellishments you like... I got some big googly eyes and cute ribbons etc.
 Don't these neat shaped pipe cleaners go great with the spider I am making!
 Here is a sampling of all the pages... they are just not quite done. :(
 When I finish sewing all the individual pages, I will start stacking them in the order I like *back to back* and sew them together. When that is done I will put 2 or 3 metal rings or clasps through the sides to complete the book! So fun for your little Ghouls and Goblins!

 I think the BAT is the only page that is completely finished- SAD! I had better hit the sewing machine! Peace Out!
