More Monkeying Around

Yes, I love this fabric, which is why I made two more
children's blankets out of them (both with a ruffle, of course!)

This one is pretty much like the other one I made.
 Fabric: "Monkey Around" - designed by 
Bethany Berndt Shackelford for Quilting Treasures.

The back of the quilt

This one is made using the quilt-as-you-sew method
 BUT LOOK! 
There's a little pocket in the corner for a sock monkey
or a gift card...or whatever I want to add.
 The back of the quilt

I think I have to stop sewing monkeys for a while, because there's another
hop coming up on July 31st that will require some sewing with Christmas fabric.
(Plus that other lady is SO competitive I'm sure she's already sewn
DOZENS of Ho Ho Ho projects...good thing I'm not competitive.)

And don't forget that Stamp On It starts back up on Monday!

I Stamped On It!

While I was at that retreat not too long ago, we went to do a little shopping at Scrap Apple where I saw a quilt on the wall that totally stole my heart. I loved the fabric...it's called Ladies Diary...and it's a little vintage looking like me, plus I love to write in my journal so it was a fabric I'm sure was created JUST FOR ME! I bought a little fabric for my stamp AND THEN went back later to buy the whole quilt kit...HAD to have it and I've already started working on putting it together.

MY STAMP

My stamp ended up on a side-slung bag with no zippers or pockets....just a bag
to throw my stuff in when I'm dashing out the door. 
My sister's yard was in total bloom mode with beautiful flowers...

Ladies Diary fabric by Wilmington Prints

I fussy cut some of the pictures from the fabric and appliqued them in positions I liked better for my stamp.
The postal marks were hand embroidered as was the 1 cent mark. USA was stamped on with ink.

Ooooo, look what's inside! Can you see it? It's my new label (love it!)


It needed a matching Tammy Bag...I was sure of it...so, of course I made one.

Tammy And Me...Bags, Of Course!

I chose some Moda fabric called Round Robin by Kathy Schmitz for
my bag. I loved the colors and prints so much I used it to make
a quilt, too! It's HERE on a previous post.




This is my little can. I cut a piece from a magnet sheet to fit the lid,
which holds my needles in place, and the can will hold several colors 
of thread depending on what I need for the project I'm working on.

Label It ME!

I hear it is important to label your quilts.
I don't...well, I did once, but just once.
I either forget or they seem like too much trouble at the moment.

And then I saw some labels over at Lesley's blog,
The Cuddle Quilter, and knew I HAD to have some, too.
So, of course, I ordered some (they came yesterday) 
from MommieMadeIt.etsy.com.

They fold over and fit right in to a seam or binding edge.
I can even write a date on them if I want to.

These are my kind of easy, fun, and personal kind of labels.
LOVE THEM!
I can't wait to add one to my next quilt or project!

Lost And Late To The Party!

For some reason, which is unclear to me, I have "lost" some of the
favorite blogs that I had been following for years. When I switched to Bloglovin 
I thought they would all miraculously appear in my little blog roll of favorites.

THEY DIDN'T!

Even if I search them out in Bloglovin and click that little "FOLLOW" button,
they don't always appear in my list. I hear it has something to do with them 
"claiming" their blog--if they don't claim it, I guess they don't appear for me to see.

I'm so sad when I see a blog post days, weeks, or more after it is posted
(not that I don't stalk blogs for older posts...of course, I do.)

It's just feels like I'm late to the party!
I HATE being late to anything...just saying.
My whine is over now...moving on.
