The monkey's have returned!
Wednesday, December 8, 2010 at 8:00AM At long last, I have the Pirate Monkey quilt back on my longarm. Some of you may remember, Jim asked me to created a quilt with these darling embroidery and appliqué designs and enter it in the local fair. Well I didn’t get the quilt done, but now I’m hoping to finish it before Christmas and find a home for it with a little boy somewhere in need of a smile and a quilty hug!

I have most of the quilting done now, having spent most of yesterday on it. I’d already done all the ditch work and the borders earlier this summer.
I’m off to Mama’s Log House quilt shop this morning, hoping I can stay awake at the wheel, I pulled another all nighter last night, ugh.

Just teasing y’all a bit. Bread I baked for dinner last night, we had Tuscan potato soup and bread. Yummy!

CJ,
Where did you get this Embroidery Design? I just love it!
Cj, the quilting is fabulous! They are such cute designs. I am doing the little monkey ABC's for my grandaughter, using the pattern that came with the designs. It is a really cute quilt pattern. If I finish it--hopefully before her 1st birthday--I may have to send it to you for quilting--you do a great job!!

Love the quilt and the quilting! Great job as usual. It is going to make some little boy very happy.
Of course, the quilt is great. But that BREAD, that looks fabulous. I wish I had smell on this. Yum I wish I could make bread like you do. That soup sounds wonderful too. Kale is so yummy.We went to a restraurant the other night. They served my entree over a bed of kale. I ate all the kale. The waitress said noone ate their kale and was surprised I did. I told her that was a wonder veg and besides very high fiber, it has huge amts. of antioxidents. It's one of the best vegs there are. Love it./
CJ... what I want to know is how to get that bread delivered to my house!!!! Oh my gosh, it looks so delicious!
Sher, the designs are from here:

I want to know what you bought at Mama's Log House!!!!??? Fun trip.... did you go alone???
YUMMO! I'd like my slice toasted with homemade preserves...you make that, too, right? Hey, a girel can fantasize, right?
Gee CJ! I am sitting here eating a lunch meat sandwich with chips and dip and you show me your potato soup and homemade bread. Thanks a lot. lol
I guess I could get up and cook but Craig got something on the way home from work and Larry is working. So I'll just look at your food. Glad I can't smell it. lol
Love that embroidery. And the quilting job is fabulous. I think if I had my choice I could embroider all day long.
The quilt looks great.
Ok, you did it again - tempted us with your fabulous cooking. Now I am yearning for your Tuscan potato soup recipe! Could you share that recipe with us also? Please....pretty please???
I love the monkeys!
Wow, that monkey pattern sure is adorable! That looks like quite the project and you've also done very well with it. Great job!
