My Star Trek Quiet Book
I've had this project in my head for a while now,
and finally finished it.
I just loved how my Star Wars Quiet Book turned out,
and wanted to make another one.
I'm working on the pattern now,
and thinking about doing a
**Harry Potter Quiet Book
**Lord of The Rings Quiet Book
(maybe... if I can actually get through the movies...)
and
**The Beatles Quiet Book
in the future.

Matt pointed out that Picard has 4 dots, not 3...
He's the Captain.
AND maybe some other ranks are wrong too.

ReplyDeleteThat is so cool!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant and amazing and I want one!!!
DeleteOhmygosh! LOVE this! I would also love a Harry Potter book and a LOTR book (you haven't made it through the movies?!). I'm sure the Beatles book would be amazing, I just don't know a quiet book's worth about them- their songs, yes, but them. . .
ReplyDeleteA. Mazing.
ReplyDeleteI want to buy one!
ReplyDeleteThat is the coolest!! Are you going to sell the pattern like the Star Wars one?
ReplyDeleteGreatest thing ever! I would totally buy this one and any other ones you make.
ReplyDeleteGreatest thing ever! I would totally buy this one and any other ones you make.
ReplyDeleteThis is great!
ReplyDeletethis is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely!! I am inspired to make one myself, but perhaps of another theme.. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. A thousand stars love you.
ReplyDeletethis is the best thing i've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteThis is incredible! You are awesome.
ReplyDeletePLEASE make a Harry Potter one and dedicate an adorable page to Snape! Do it!! ;.;
Will you marry me?
ReplyDeleteI want one for my kid!!
ReplyDeleteholy cow...so much work. and so so cute! you should get an award!

Want. Want, want, want. Well done miss.
ReplyDeleteWay beyond awesome. Thanks, Julie!
ReplyDeleteFan-frikkin-tastic!!!!
ReplyDeleteNice, but the text on the page two is wrong.
ReplyDeletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_no_man_has_gone_before#Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation
In TNG the word man was replaced with one.
A second revision would help make this fit into the fiction better.
How can I get the pattern for this?? I need it now!
ReplyDeletePLEASE, when the pattern is ready, sell it on Etsy. I will buy it!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm your new biggest fan.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, now following your blog and wondering if you would sell this to me... ?
I'm serious. =)
Just awesome!
ReplyDeleteYour Blag was linked from Reddit:

1. This project is awesome.
2. Do others!!!! (Dr. Who, Firefly, & LOTR - just suggestions!)
3. Stay classy.
Cheers,
Em.
phenomenal!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome, how long did it take to make?
ReplyDeleteYou, mah darlin', have won.
ReplyDeleteFreakin' AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool and creative! I can see a market for these :).
ReplyDeleteI have no children and my nieces and nephews are past quietbook stage, but I think I need one of these very soon.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Just awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis is probably the third most awesome thing I've ever seen.
ReplyDeletePerfect for kids aged 3 to 100.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I would buy something like that or my newborn...maybe I should just make something like that on my own :)
ReplyDeleteNow that's talent!
ReplyDeleteJulie this is the so FUN! I was laughing so so hard "make Picard Human again..."
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!!
This is amazing EACH PAGE a memory from the PAST!!
THANKS SO SO MUCH!!TB
DON'T CHANGE A THING...
ReplyDeletenot even
WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE!!
LOVE IT!!
That is the coolest thing I have EVER seen. My baby brother has a "Quiet Book," but c'mon, what do those teach you? Only how to button buttons and snap snaps. This teaches you about STAR TREK!
ReplyDeletePage 2 should have "...no one has gone before"
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely great! Amazing work, very well done and thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOhh, that's too cute!
ReplyDeletePregnant with our first... totally want this. Any information on how I can either order one (and a star wars one too) or get the pattern would be fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAmazing job!
She can't sell any part of that - intellectual property, etc. You just have to make your own! Very creative, however.
ReplyDeleteTake all of my money ....pls.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant - I would so get this for my kid (if I had one).
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely the greatest idea ever!
ReplyDeleteBloody fantastic. Nicely done. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is totally amazing! I love both your books and I would love to order the pattern or kit!
ReplyDeleteI adore this! --Sheila
ReplyDeleteSo, so, so awesome.
ReplyDeleteGenius!
ReplyDeleteReally excellent! You're wonderfully talented.
ReplyDeleteSheer brilliance!
ReplyDeleteliterally the best thing ever
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely awesome and extremely cuuuuuute! You've done a wonderful job of craftsmanship!
ReplyDeleteHowever, is "set phasers to kill" appropriate for children? It just bothers this old grandma a little.
This is unbelievable I hope you get bought and earn some royalties, awesome!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!
ReplyDelete*slow clap* turns to *loud applause* and reading audience all stands to their feet and gives *thunderous applause and loud cheering*
ReplyDeleteno seriously. i am literally on my feet right now giving you a standing ovation.
epic.
Well done, young lady!
ReplyDeleteThis is unbelievably awesome. Hope your blog is prepared for a forthcoming Slashdot effect because man oh man every nerd needs to see this.
ReplyDelete"Make Picard Human Again" FTW.
@Karen How about "Arm the
ReplyDeletePhoton Torpedoes!" they're only destroying machinery. Love this!
Nice!
ReplyDeleteIf there are/will be kids using it, you might want a bit of thread connecting the snap-on pieces back to the book. I cannot tell you how glad I am to have those for our quiet book.
I LOVE THIS! I will totally buy one, will you put them in your Etsy shop!?!
ReplyDeleteWONDERFUL!
ReplyDeleteJulie, I was wondering if you would like to marry me?
ReplyDeleteThe world's best thing. This was linked on DinoComics, and I recommended Videogum link it, too, which they did. You are gonna get a lot of love! (and book orders!)
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteIM THROWING MONEY AT THE SCREEN BUT NOTHINGS HAPPENING!!!!!! (By the way, will you be selling this?)
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are AMAZING.
ReplyDeletePlease, Please, PLEASE sell the pattern to this!
ReplyDeleteI want one for myself! I would be dressing up Picard all day long!
ReplyDeleteThis is just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI have been making fabric books... but yours are trully wonderfull!
ReplyDeleteThat's amazingly well done! Not to detract from its coolness, but it's spelled "Geordi", not "Geordie".
ReplyDeleteAWESOME.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. My husband wants one. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe work you put into this is astounding. It is just so many kinds of awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo very cool - amazing job!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I want one!
ReplyDeleteUtter epic sweetness...-The husband
ReplyDeletePart of me absolutely loves this. Such a clever idea and so well made.
ReplyDeleteAnother part of me really hopes this has been made for a boy, because otherwise I'm picturing a little girl sitting down with this book and being taught that only boys get to go into space and my heart breaks for her.
Please say this is available to purchase! This is so cute!
ReplyDeletei really need kids... can u please post this back on etsy!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is simply AMAZING. My crafting is limited to cross-stitch, but I seriously need to do this project. I would like to echo the sentiments from above and plea that you sell the pattern.
ReplyDeleteSuggestions for the next revision:
- Some female crew members, please! The Doc and Troy are my votes.
- Four pips for Captain Picard.
- Correction as mentioned above regarding the quote ("one", not "man").
Amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are the best mother in the world! I had to rely on a steady stream of TOS, TNG, DS9, and Voyager to brainwash my kids. You do realize you could make more of these and sell them for an outrageous price to other true believers?
ReplyDeleteCan you say ETSY!!!
ReplyDeleteYou could sell these and make a fortune on "Think Geek"! I LOVE This project and love your ideas for others.
ReplyDeleteThis might be the coolest thing I have seen in the last month! LOVE IT!
ReplyDeletemajQa'!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful... you are magical!
ReplyDeleteGreat job. Seriously, sell this and I will have children just so I can buy one.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing.
ReplyDeleteLive Long and Prosper
ReplyDeleteI followed a tweet from Jeri Ryan to this. Very fun! I love the Picard/Locutus page. Though, I would be remiss not to echo the sentiment that there really should be some women in this book. From The Next Generation you've got Doctor Crusher, Counselor Troi or if you want, Lt. Yar. I think a page of Dr. Crusher helping someone would be a nice addition to this delightful book.
ReplyDeleteRegardless, this is terrific work and I tip my hat to you for your creativity and sense of fun!
I love this. I'm going to seek out this series and watch it!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Gorgeous - would definitely buy if it was available.
ReplyDeleteWhaaaat?? This takes it all to a whole new level. {clap clap cheer}
ReplyDeleteOur youngest daughter's 1st word was Data. She literally started on TNG. My gawd, she would have lerved this as a baby! Also, as a now 19 yr old!
ReplyDeleteIt masterful! I'm so impressed! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing it with us! :-D
WOW that's AMAZING!!! So, so impressed.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are planning to try to start a family in the spring and this brought back such a huge memory for me. My Grandmother made me a quiet book when I was a wee one and now my kids can have one too!! She made ours with a group and each woman (they were all women, but certainly don't have to be ) learned how to make one or two pages and then made several and then the group put them together assembly line style. That may be easier for some of us less crafty folks.
ReplyDeleteI know you're getting a lot of this, but WOW!
ReplyDeleteI seriously need to buy the pattern for this to make it for a friend. Will it be up on Etsy soon?
ReplyDeleteThe criticisms are minor and not worth the effort of reading. The effort and creativity is magnificent; you are to be commended for such a noble effort.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a kid in two weeks.... How do I get one ASSP?!?!?
ReplyDeleteOH MY GAWD. This is. The coolest thing. I have ever seen. Ever. I will pay you money to make me one. Really. Like, good money. Please? I've had a shitty week and its only Tuesday.
ReplyDeletePlease.
Pretty please.
I'm begging you.
Great!!! Love it sooo much!!
ReplyDeleteAlso to add, there is no "e" on Geordi's name.
Just found your blog after voting for your diaper bag in the purse challenge-- and I come across this? It's amazing!!! LOVE it. Can't wait to see what else you do!
ReplyDeleteVery, very cool.
ReplyDeleteCompletely, completely, amazing! LLAP!
ReplyDeleteReally, really, REALLY cool.
ReplyDeleteComing in time for the holiday season?
Yeah, most of the pips (what you call dots) are incorrect, depending upon when in the series you have designed this, but it's still so awesome, WHO CARES?!
ReplyDeleteif you are interested in changing the pips later: http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Starfleet_ranks
ohmygoodness!!!!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across your blog via Purse week 2011 (love love loved your diaper bag by the way) and I am just in AWE of both your Star Wars and Star Trek quiet books. And you. My son would literally wig if he saw these.
:)
Caralyn sent me this and as I told her, this is the most awesome thing I have ever seen up until this point in my life. AND you have a Beatles one on the list? WHO ARE YOU AND WHY AREN'T WE BEST FRIENDS?! :) I wish I had the talent to pull this off!
ReplyDeleteI saw this via a tweet from Mike McCaffrey and was tickled pink. I would want this book for myself, never mind the kids.
ReplyDeleteDo you sell these? and wow. never mind my baby, my HUSBAND wants one. (me too, but in secret of course.)
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I aren't really ready to have kids yet...but I may have to buy your pdf and start making one of these anyways. Brilliant. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteholy schnikies. this is amazing. how do you not have a book deal and crap loads of money coming in from all of on amazon or something? seriously? i'm totally going to have to get these patterns... though not kidding i would pay more to have one already finished.... i suck at crafts.
ReplyDeleteHoly Moly!!! This is the coolest quiet book EVER!!!!
ReplyDeleteomg this is amazing you should post a tutorial or patterns for this......IT'S JUST TOO AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteI would pay any amount of money for this. Someone give me Rick Berman's credit card number.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! My husband would love this for our baby boy!
ReplyDeleteUh-may-zing. I seriously don't think I have the talent to pull something like this off, but it would sure be fun to give it a try :)
ReplyDeleteI dont know if you are aware of this, but I found your page due to a Re-Tweet by LeVar Burton. Yeah, Geordi himself diggs your book.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantabulous. I would so buy any and all that you make if you start selling them. Love love love it. I wish I had the crafting talent to do something like this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea!!! My boys and I would love one of these!!! Very very cute and beautifully done! :0)
ReplyDeleteI bow down to you! Amazing!!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter sent me this link and said if I don't make one for her (as yet unborn) kids I'll never get to see them!
This is SO cool! I have no idea what a "quiet book" is supposed to be (German) but I would SO buy a book like this. Please follow through and craft a Harry Potter book, too. I'd love to see it.
ReplyDeleteI am making the Star Trek one for my own husband as soon as I get the PDF file. He will LOVE it and probably not let any of our children play with it. I can hardly stand to wait!! I'm so excited to start work on it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! This is fantastic and just looking at it made my day much better. You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING. I'm in love with this!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! Please do a Harry Potter one, my daughter would love that!
ReplyDeletewhoa! that is amazing. AH MA ZING!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I must have one!
ReplyDeleteThis is so clever and well-done! I'm "pinning" it for my son once he's a little older. :) And I would buy a Harry Potter quie6t book pattern in a heartbeat. Sign me up for the waitlist!!
ReplyDeleteI am speechless right now. SSOOOOOO Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love Love LOVE this! Awesome job! Now put it on eBay so I can buy it!! :)~
ReplyDeleteWe have just finished watching this series with our 3 older children and they flipped when they saw this. Even my 9 year wants one now, LOL. Thank you so much for this. I will most definitely be making at least 2 of these for the kids. Thank you thank you thank you
ReplyDeleteI made 2 of these for Christmas presents. Thanks so much for the pattern! :)
ReplyDeleteyou, madam, have just made my day. This is beyond epic!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing and inspiring can't wait to make my own! Don't know if anyone else shared this but my geek is just insisting that I let her out so here goes. The little dots on the uniforms are called pips and Captain Picard is named Locutus when he is a Borg so if your making one yourself this might help (maybe not but again my geek had to try) I love it and hope mine comes out half as cute as yours did! Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOD
ReplyDeleteits so nice to see another lady who likes both star trek and star wars..
this is absolutely phenomenal
Freaking EPIC!!!
ReplyDeleteI pinned this on Pinterest to be shared with others.
Wow. My kids love Star Trek. I love Star Trek.
ReplyDeleteThis is SUPER cute!
ReplyDeleteyou are awesome I must make one

Once again great post. You seem to have a good understanding of these themes.When I entering your blog,I felt this . Come on and keep writting your blog will be more attractive. To Your Success!

Classic Bridesmaid Dresses

This is so completely incredible! We're teaching our children all about Star Trek and I'm sure they'd love a hands-on educational aid!
ReplyDeleteIdea: a "Goonies" quiet book. There could be a coin counting page from the well scene, with the coins stored in the well bucket; Data's shoes and jacket having something coming out of them; a puzzle of the floor that falls away at the bone piano; obviously a page or two involving the ship and One-Eyed Willy...it could be good. Can't wait to see the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings models!
ReplyDelete(round two of slow clap)
ReplyDeleteThat is just incredible. I am going to make one of these for my little grandson. His dad is a trekkie and know this will be a big hit. Thanks so much for sharing the pattern and the detailed pictures!!
ReplyDeleteLinda, S. Florida
You are my new embroidery hero! Genius!
ReplyDeleteThat is, quite possibly, the best book ever.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Even Wil Wheaton wants one.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDelete*starts crying*
ReplyDeleteFantastic.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteBest. Book. Evar.
ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest thing I've ever seen! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic!!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I'm in awe! I also blogged about this quiet book and your Etsy over on GeekCraft. :)
ReplyDeletehttp://geekcrafts.com/for-little-geeks-on-the-go/
Best Quiet book EVER!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I love it. That is the BEST quiet book Ever!!
ReplyDeletePicked up your PDF directions on etsy a few weeks ago - I can see why you wouldn't want to make these to sell on your own! I've only made the first three pages and I think I've spent over 25 hours measuring/cutting/sewing and gluing all the pieces together. But the thing looks FANTASTIC. You're brilliant!
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented!!! This is fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteWell Done! Live long and prosper...
ReplyDeleteyou are my hero.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! You made this up?? G-E-N-I-U-S.
ReplyDeleteLove LOVE it!!!
(For the kids, I probably would have set to 'stun', though.)
This is just amazing! So creative and cool.
ReplyDeleteJust so you know this is Amazing
ReplyDeleteThis is great. My husband just told me that he would like to do the baby nursery in a Star Trek TNG theme and I am really trying to figure out how to do it and still keep it baby friendly. This book is so great. I'm not sure I have the skill level to make one myself but I will try. I know he will love it when I show him. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteLynn
This is probably the coolest thing ever. I wish I could sew. I would totally make this for my son's first birthday.
ReplyDeletegenius! beautiful! a work of love x
ReplyDeleteyou are SO AMAZING and inspiring. this book is phenomenal. that being said, i JUST started watching star trek for the first time in my life, and as a girl I was so happy that Next Gen with Picard had the beginning say "Where No One Has Gone Before" instead of "No Man".....just sayin.
ReplyDeletefantastic!
ReplyDeleteDo you make these to sell? If you do could you email me please???
ReplyDeleteThis is AWESOME!! ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteReally you are very talented.
ReplyDeleteAmazing!!
star trek
No Troi or Dr Crusher? Disappointing.
ReplyDelete
