Sock Monkey Progress


I'm making some progress on the sock monkey blocks.  I have about 61 done so far. I'm going to intersperse the embroidered sock monkey block along with some 6" print blocks. 


And here's some chain piecing that I've been working on this evening.  I'm hoping to get the top completed within the next week.  I found the funky monkey print at Fabric Shack that was on clearance, so I'm going to use that as part of the backing.

Kona Color Card and Quilts in Progress

I finally picked up the Kona Cotton Solids color card this week. I ordered it from Canton Village Quilt Works. I love it. Now I can see exactly which colors go with my fabrics.


And here are 2 quilts in progress. The one above uses a charm pack that my sister had given me for my birthday back in December. And the patches below are a mix of Paul Prass and Sandi Henderson fabrics that I had picked up a few months ago.

Easter Pictures and Quilt Progress

Here are a couple of pictures from Easter morning. I guess I shouldn't have had them looking into the sun to take the pictures. Troy was happy, he got 2 kites from the Easter Bunny, and since it's been kind of windy, we've been flying them a lot.




And here's my progress on my quilt. It's coming along, slower than usual. I didn't sew at all on Saturday or Sunday, and not much on Monday. Hopefully later today I will have more time.

Quilt Layout

Here's my layout. I was originally going to do 5 x 7 squares, but I thought the 5 across looked too small. So now it's 6 x 7. I've managed to get the top 4 rows together. Only 3 more to go, then the sashing and border.

View from the Rose Room

More snow today, another 5"-8" on top of the 20" we got over the weekend. I'm really ready for Spring.




I've been making progress on this quilt though, I'm up to 28 blocks completed. I think I have 8 more to go.

Block Decisions

Ok, here are my 4 sample blocks for trying to decide which size to use to make my next quilt. I'm going to go with the big one, 8 1/2" square. I think it will show the fabric the best. Maybe later today I can start cutting the Hope Valley fabric.
