Thank you so much! My Mom is making sock monkey dolls for my grandchildren. I've gotten fabric to make pillow cases.
Now I can make small quilts, too. Found a 'Barrel of Monkeys" toy at Walmart earlier this week. It's going to be
a Sock Monkey Xmas at our house. joan Sandy Ellison wrote: [quote:1db64e005a]Howdy!

I bought the identical print sock monkey sheets from them last fall, but in flannel. I just love them. The quality of
their flannel is wonderful, the softest I've ever had. Denise http://community.webtv.net/DeniseJG/ My QI

Joan I am so sorry to hear your sad news. But I hope in time you will come to doubly treasure those last few days when
you and your mother were together and so busy and happy. Cry all you need to, then smile for the good times.

Nope, Patti. Not for you. Just forget it. I don't even want to imagine what your furry faces could do 'toying with'
a sock monkey. Not a pretty sight. Fun, maybe, but not pretty. You need to just look at the funny sock monkey

Mom is making 12 of them for Xmas. And fussing about how hard it is to sew and stuff the tails. She's got them sitting
together in a recliner as she works on them. Each one will get two sets of clothing. She was going to make a girl set
and a boy set for each (as there is no anatomical difference on her dolls), but decided that cross-dressing was not a
concept that she wanted to introduce to the little tykes receiving them. :> I'm thinking that some of those monkey
dolls will have to be accompanied by monkey quilts, don't you think? joan Polly Esther wrote: [quote:89e0dfb600]Nope,

He's just so well-named, Charming he certainly is. You just can't look at one of those guys without smiling. He brings
back a very strange memory. The Grandmother in the family made the children sock monkeys for Christmas. They loved
them at first sight and cherished them. She was just so Offended when she visited and saw that the children were
actually allowed to 'touch' the monkeys, going on and on about how hard they were to make. Little did we know that we
were supposed to build a sock monkey shrine for them or something. Polly

Homestead www.libertyhomestead.com and 4 packets of their hand-dyed sueded cotton. 4 colors in each packet 1/2 yard of
each. 3 Attic Heirlooms stitchery pattern kits. www.attic-heirlooms.com 1 Baby Bib pattern from Little Country Quilts
plus 3 of the fabric kits to go with it from Vogies. www.vogies.com The pattern for those Quilt as you Sew table
runners from Out of the Blue. www.outofthebluequilts.com plus 2 fabric kits to make the runners. (They make a really
neat purse pattern that is made the same way, but I didn't see it till I was paying and the line was long. 1/2 yard of
most and fat 1/4's of the rest of the Peppermint and Holly Berries fabric. Plus the buttons AND some of the towels. A
really cool little pattern for something called a Fabric Pot. It's a Just Jennifer pattern, www.justjennifer.com but
this pattern is not listed on the website yet. It's just this little fabric cup that you can take to class and put
threads and stuff in it. It's made with 2 strips of sandwiched fabric (with fleece) that you sew together so it has
enough body to sit up, yet you can squish it in anywhere. It came with the fabric and the fleece. Pretty cool. The
Magic of Crazy Quilting. GREAT book! PLUS I bought beads and buttons and lace and silk and satin and wool scraps for
crazy quilting. 4 Stitchery patterns from Thimble Creek Creations. www.thimblecreekcreations.com 3 darling little
sacks with civil war fat 1/4's for Dear Jane (BTW, there was a Dear Jane and a Dear Hannah quilt hanging at the show.
They were beautiful. There was a woodworking guy there and besides the quilt racks and little quilt coffins that he
makes, he had these turned handle tools. I bought a beautiful seam ripper made out of curly maple, and a little wheelie
thing that flattens seams! The roller is about 1/2" wide and you just roller it along the seam and you don't have
to press it! I have a little wooden stick thing that I bought for that, but it always pulled the material out of whack
so I quit using it. This works really slick. I forgot to find out what kind of wood the handle was made of. A cute
chenille jacket, a baby quilt kit with minkie, flannel and cotton fabrics, OH! they had these handmade baskets from
Ghana that were gorgeous. I got a big one and a little one. They also had some ethnic fabric that was so pretty, but I
couldn't think of a use. Sorry, Susan, I wish I'd a known. I'm telling ya, I made 3 trips to the bag check area. If I
saw 2 things I liked and couldn't decide, I bought both of them. This is in addition to the "help" I gave my
friends in their purchases. I'm tired. Cindy -- ~~Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid~~
