Week in review

Week in review

This week has flown by and I am always amazed at how fast Friday comes.  This week I have been focusing on creating the quilt top for my SIL.  I looked around for a monkey baby quilt pattern but really didn't see anything I liked.  Looking at some of the bedding set she didn't choose I decided the easiest way was to create my own variation. I spent a couple of days sketching out these cute little guys and love how they turned out.  I personally think they have more cuteness appeal than the premade quilts.



I have a couple monkeys to add to the border and then I will be basting and quilting it.  Hope you all have a great week!

Until next time,
Holly

For February I have a long list, but I am excited to accomplish them! 
-Lose another 10 pounds
- 2nd paper pieced block
- Quilt sister-in-laws baby quilt
- Make mothers quilt top

I am hoping that my list is doable.  Sometimes I think I have more time than I do, especially since it is bowling season again! Hope you have a great week! Until next time.
