Monkeys in Oz……

I can’t remember when I made this sock monkey for my son, maybe 10 or 12 years ago, he is showing his well loved age a little…  He was actually packed away in the closet, poor little guy.  He inspires me to stitch another, they are fun to make.

I just love the Oz fabric line and thought it was perfect for another raw edge circle quilt, inspired by Allison over at Cluck Cluck Sew.

Monkeys in Oz measures 66”x78”, a nice (big/large) size.

It’s a little on the heavy side though, I didn’t cut out behind the circles .  Oh well I have enough scraps around here.

This fabric reminds me of the 70’s??

I feel like  I should make a little outfit for my monkey they are so cute dressed!

Sock Monkeys are just so silly I can’t help but love their sweetness!!

I’m pretty happy with my machine quilting on this one. I like the circles, loops, flowers/butterflies and a wavy stitch my machine made.

I’ll be taking a little blog break, I need to spend some summertime with my family, mow, weed, mulch and grow my gardens ~  all of these chores make me happy,  or I’ll just keep telling myself that………
