A "Color" Soft Book

I made several of these little color soft books based on this tutorial a few years ago for a charity event.  Thankfully, I saved one not knowing for sure if there would ever be another little one in our family.  It sat, undone, for all those years, but now it is done for Joe to enjoy.


It includes several pages, two of which are pictured below.  It includes the rainbow and then pink, brown, black and white.


The words were printed in reverse on iron-on transfer paper and then ironed onto a square before being stitched into a four-patch.



Now Joe can learn his colors . . . or at least have another tasty book to chew on.

The Little Turtle

The Little Turtle
a poem by Vachel Lindsay


 There was a little turtle.


He lived in a box.
He swam in a puddle.
He climbed on the rocks.


He snapped at a mosquito.
He snapped at a flea.
He snapped at a minnow.
And he snapped at me.


He caught the mosquito.
He caught the flea.


He caught the minnow.
But he didn't catch me.


Soft book created and quilted by me.
