Monkey Rag Quilt

So, I'm back at it again, working on an adult-size rag quilt. Color selections were brown and blue..and what do you know? Joann's Fabrics had the cutest monkey flannel pattern. I opted to do something a little different this time. Instead of using all 6 inch squares, I decided to incorporate some 11 inch squares into the bunch. There's a photo of the pieced squares before stitching on my sewing machine. I am also attaching a photo of a few blocks up close so you can see the fabric selections.

Princess Sock Monkey

I have finally completed a princess Sock Monkey for a little girl. Princess fabric was purchased at Joann's. I love the frog, princess, and tiaras on the fabric...too cute! A layer of tulle was added under the dress for volume. I made sure to stitch on the bows that were attached to the monkey's feet, hands and head. I embroidered the little girl's name on the bib of the dress using my Singer Confidence 7470's block alphabet stitches. Tulle embellishments were also added to the headband and bib of the dress. Voila! Princess Sock Monkey!!
