Having been inspired by a link to Ladybelle’s web site and the fabulous sock monkey quilt featured there and given my obsession with machine embroidery I had to acquire the embroideries. Having done that I searched the internet for sock monkey fabric to match. There was none in the UK that I could find in a hurry so I went to Christa Quilts over the pond (not physically you understand) who just happened to be featuring some cream fabric in one of her regular offers. She also got me again this week by offering the whole range of sock monkey fabric at the same discount. In case you don’t know what the fabric looks like ;
If you want to see the full range of sock monkey embroideries click on this link and prepare to be surprised at the variety of things sock monkeys do.
Harrogate was a much bigger success from our point of view than Exeter. It was completely different in every way and we sold lots of goodies too so we were happy.
You will be pleased to know that sewing all the embroideries was not in vain. They were very popular. I will be extending the repertoire for next year. We will also have lots of new quilt designs.
I now have to try to sort out the stock and find room for it. Whilst I was up in the area I went to Ebor to stock up on fossil ferns. I now have 47 different ones so if you are as obsessed with fossil ferns as I am you know where to come. nsaaquilting fossil ferns page. I am still charging the old price despite several price rises and I have the brightest colours.
I’ll keep you posted on the sock monkeys. I just have to decide which to do first.

Thank you for your kind words and for linking to my page. I will most certainly return the favor.
I linked because it is a good page especially considering the subject. Your quilt has certainly led me astray, I couldn’t resist the embroideries and I liked all of them so all of them I had to have. My only problem is where to start. Just waiting for the second delivery of fabric then there will be no stopping me.
