A while back Monkey Boy #1 picked out some fabric for his quilt, created a design,
and drew a label for it. I finished it just in time for his birthday today.
Barbara at Coral Canyon Quilting did the stitching...sweet!
Happy Birthday to Monkey Boy #1!
The Quilt
This is the label he created which included his drawing, his signature, and the year.
I hand embroidered his design on fabric and added to the back of the quilt.
(For privacy purposes I replaced his name with "Monkey Boy")
The eye, of course, had to be red!
I think he liked it...
Awesome quilt. . . but then you knew that already by that Monkey Boy smile :) Ahhh, those smiles make it all worth while!! Happy Birthday and well done with the label!
