Attention, Attention! The monkeys are in the building. Oh yeah, the monkey quilt is back from the quilter. I even finished the binding lickity split...just a little banana humor for you bloggals.
I was delighted with her attention to details. Perhaps you can better see the monkeys and bananas she stitched all over it, if I show you the back.
How cool is that? I think the Director would like it on our next quilt! LOL. Just kidding.
My nephew, David, loves the color orange, hence the orangeness. Wow, it is bright....that's is all I can say. I just love this basket weave pattern and monkey border. It is so cheerful. I think it is my favorite, at least this week. Truthfully, I am a bit sad to part with it. I decided to make both of my nephews quilts for the their birthdays this year because I wasn't quilting when they were born, or a definitely would have made both of them one then. They are both special guys and they deserve something special made by their aunt.
I decided to whip up a towel apron with the new machine for him, as well. Below is buddy modeling it. Please note that David is not buddy's name. ;) He is pretty excited though.
I folded up the bottom of the towel which I also embroidered orange trim on, to make 4 pockets. Pockets are exciting to a 3 year old. Hey, let's face it- pockets must be exciting to a 31 year old, or I wouldn't be mentioning it either.

You need to post a warning when you're going to show such cuteness! That monkey quilting is just perfect for your quilt!
That is some cute little monkey modeling the apron! What a doll.
I love the monkey quilt! I have a friend who has a monkey named Katie and she would really like this (my friend, not Katie since Katie probably wouldn't recognize it). :)
Monkey quilting! I love it! That was inspired!
The dishtowel apron is wonderful. I think pockets are pretty darned cool no matter how old we get.
I love your blog! Thanks for sharing with us!
