My children are all grown up now, but I remember fondly how many hours we spent reading books. Being a book lover, I started them early, reading to them when they were tiny babies. As soon as our son was able to grasp things with his chubby little hands, he was putting them in his mouth . . . and that included his books. Looking back, it’s a shame we didn’t have any cloth books back then. He would have been “reading and chewing” constantly.
A few years ago, the kind folks at Quilt Girls sent me a darling panel and I made my first cloth book. It’s an easy project and a wonderful gift to give. Someday when I have grandchildren, I imagine myself sewing cloth books until I run out of thread!
Would you like to try your hand at making a cloth book? I have two super cute cloth book panels to give away, courtesy of Quilt Girls!
Play all Day by Diane Eichler for Studio E.

Darling! I want to make PLAY ALL DAY for my two year old grandson, Dannyboy!!!
I love Busy Street! We are the proud grandparents of twins- a girl and boy and this would make a wonderful Christmas gift 🎁 💙 ❤.
Taunja, Play All Day sounds perfect for my newest granddaughter.
How adorable! Play all Day, although they are both precious!
How wonderful of you to do a ‘give-a-way’! Busy Street would be the one I would pick. All the best, Katie
I would love Play All Day for my 10 month old granddaughter.
Both are super sweet, but Play All Day would be my first choice!
What cute books. Would love to win Busy Streets book, so I can make a cute book for my grandchild and become the favorite grandma! 🙂
I love them both, but what joy it would be to sew up “Busy Streets” the illustrations are so cute and bright for little ones to learning colors and numbers.
Thankful for the opportunity.
Smiles, Susie
Busy street. Granddaughter 21mos loves books.
These are so cute! I have a little granddaughter that would love one so the one for a little girl but if I won the other one it would make an awesome gift!
Play All Day for my newest great-grandson, York!
If I’m a lucky winner I’d love to receive Play All Day. These panels are just adorable! Thanks for the opportunity to win one.

I would love to win the Busy Street cloth book panel for my little nephew.
I would love the BUSY STREET. I would love to make it for my new great niece so I can share with Poppy my love of numbers.
Busy Street
Thank you for the give away. Either of the books would work for me as I have a girl and boy baby to make a present. But, I am partial to the Play All Day.
Busy street would be great for my two year old grandson- Holden James. He would love for his MamaD to make it for him!
Thanks
Do I have to pick just one?? I’d be thrilled to have either one! They’re both super cute! But if I have to choose, I think my boy would like Busy Street a little better. My girl would love either one. She’s really a book lover! Thanks so much for the giveaway!
Play all day. That’s what my grandchildren do at grams Ang paps!
I would love to get Busy Street panel to make for my new great nephew. I have made and given away many cloth books. They are so fun.
Both choices are so very cute but I think Play All Day is my favorite.
I would love Busy street for my grandson! 🙂
