Monkey Baby or Baby Monkey................

Is this cute or what! My customer and new friend Kathy just finished this adorable baby quilt. She chose to border Monty The Monkey center block with monkeywrench blocks. I thought that was pretty clever of her. He turned out so adorable.
Thanks for sharing, Kathy!

Lost at Sea...........

Well, I was lost alright, I was searching for a file for something or other, I can't even remember now as that was early this morning and what did I run across but my Lost At Sea pattern. I'd actually forgotten about it. You know what they say about old age...and one of the first things to go?

Anyway, I'm thrilled to have found this and maybe one day I'll actually get the wallhanging hung on a wall somewhere.

How I celebrated National Quilting Day.............

I'm working on a special customer's quilt and completed most of the piecing this weekend. Still need to piece a border, I'm thinking prairie points or flying geese, possibly. The quilt is for a young gal who loves teals, peaches, oranges, yellows, ok, just about everything. She also wanted stars so I chose the Ohio Star block. She just painted her bedroom a beautiful shade of turquoise. I love it! And she loves what she calls "Island" decor. I love that, too. Soooooooooooo, she was amazed to find I already owned just about all the fabrics she was dreaming of and more in my stash already. We've been havin a chucled over the fact that two women at such differing ages might have the same taste in decor. Oh my, wonder what that sez about me!



Anyway, I thought you might like to see a few pictures of the blocks, they were such a blast to do. Now, I have to decide on a name for this quilt. Can I get some suggestions from anyone? Something funny and clever maybe?????????

Trapunto

I've been trying my hand at a little trapunto lately. I've always loved the dimensional look and feel of it and anxious to try shadow trapunto, too.

Here's my first attempt, a sweet little yellow baby quilt. I think I should have quilted closer but I like it.
