Monkey Business



These little monkeys are all lined up.
They may appear to be behaving.....

But I think there's some Monkey Business going on!





Sneaky Monkeys....






I am doing a good job of resisting making any fabric purchases this year. And I am digging deep into my stash to find some pieces I have had for so long.

This time I found this piece from the Urban Mod collection from Art Gallery Fabrics. I am hoping you will see this again next week, as it is also ready to back my Irish Lullaby quilt I shared progress of in this post. The top is finished and waiting to be basted!


I love the cool blue aquas in that backing print, but I pulled from the lime green in the leaves to chose the background for the front of the quilt. All the fabrics for the front are from the Artisan Spirit collection from Northcott Fabrics.





Of course, the quilting is my usual organic wavy lines using my walking foot. I chose two different variegated threads from Superior Threads for this, both on top and in the bobbin and I opted to bind this little quilt using the background print.












The "Monkey Business" baby quilt finished at 36" x 46"
and was the 34th use of my 2nd edition of 100 labels
ordered from Ikaprint.






One of the things I love about this new pattern is that it can be made to suit a boy.... or a girl... or to be a gender neutral quilt - all depending upon what fabrics you choose!

AND there are two sizes!




The smaller size has 9 monkeys and finishes at 36" x 46"




The larger size has 12 little monkeys jumping on the bed and finishes at 48" x 54"

This new pattern is called Monkey Business and you can find it listed here in my shop.

Let's Bee Social #179

Welcome to the Let's Bee Social!
So glad to have you join us for the Let's Bee Social weekly linky party!

This week I am working on so many things!

First up, I designed a new pieced Alphabet pattern.
Here are some ideas of how the letters can be used to personalize any quilt.




The Truck block will be coming soon! These blocks finish at 9" tall by 16" wide.





The Alphabet letters could be used to personalize one of these quilts....





The Love Birds pattern can be found here.

And the Ducks in a Row pattern can be found here.





You could use the letters to make a cushion, a placemat, or a quilt.
What would you use the Alphabet letters for?












Now... It's your turn for Show and Tell!!!
What have you been working on?
