When I was going back and forth to my doctor appointments I’ve also been periodically stopping at the thrift stores. Â I was able to find some fabric. Â The purple floral is destine to be the back of the quilt…the purple plaid is flannel and I think that will back a baby quilt.
The others are just fabrics that will go into my collection.
While I was there I also found this…Goodies to make sock monkeys!!
There should be plenty of socks and stuffing to make two sock monkeys and that’s perfect. Â I think I’ll make them next Christmas..one will be for Carver and the other for Scott, Buck’s girlfriend’s little guy.
This all made me super happy. Â I’ve made a couple of sock monkeys before. Â They are quick, easy and lots of fun too. Â Now I have to somehow remember that I have the goodies and get them made. Â It’s a happy coincidence that they were there. Â I likely wouldn’t have thought of making them had I now found the socks.
To see what others are doing with their fabric collections check out Patchwork Times.
The fabrics are a great find and flannel is good for those Iowa winters. I haven’t made a sock monkey in years, looking forward to seeing them made.
