Who Loves Sock Monkeys

Do You Love Sock Monkeys, like I Love Sock Monkeys? I can't say I'm a huge fan of the old fashioned ones - they are really a bit scary . . .

But I love CUTE sock monkeys, especially the dozen or more adorable monkeys who live at our house (made by sweet Dulce at The Monkey Shop), like these ones:

You know you want some for yourself! Admit it.

Today I got a commission to make a custom twin bedding set featuring Sock Monkeys - just a simple quilt and a bed skirt, but I'm looking forward to working on it.

Fabrics ordered and jetting their way to MI soon...

What do You Get When you Put me and Batman fabric together?

I love doing custom work as it gives me a chance to create things I wouldn't be making in the normal course of my day. I love making bibs and burp cloths, which I can't keep up on these days, but I love the chance to work on new things too. I currently have no fewer than 10 custom qults to work on. I just finished up 2 monogrammed baby quilts for a customer (which I need to get pictures of), and am moving on to the next on my list, a very basic twin size quilt, then I have 2 wedding dress quilts to make - those should be fun!

One of my current custom orders is for a Batman themed quilt for a little guy in Canada. The request is pretty simple - a "simple twin size bed quilt incorporating classic Batman colors, and these 2 fabrics":

Here's the 1st draft of layout:

Gotta love Batman!
