Bonnie Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 That works.....you should have this one made up into a panto before someone else steals it.....
quiltmonkey Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 Sure! I'll buy your Kennana's panto I am a Quiltmonkey, and as ya know... we monkeys like bananas and anything that rhymes with it.
Bekah Posted August 18, 2007 Report Posted August 18, 2007 Kenana, please copyright that banana. it is just too cute and clever. now what else can you draw up for us. You might have a whole new career ahead of u, drawing for all of us "challenged" people:D
Laurie Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Posted August 18, 2007 I'm still working on the Kenana borders on the monkey quilt.......for whatever reason, my tension decided to go a bit wonky.....the small loops pull in tight....I have stitched many bananas only to have to pick them out. Very frustrating...... I am using So Fine in the bobbin and a 40 wt. YLI pastel variegated in the top. The inner green border quilted up nicely - you can see it in the picture. The loop meander I started in the center had to be ripped out because the top tension started getting tight.... but only in spots. I have rethreaded, adjusted, cleaned and done all that I can think of. Any suggestions before I tackle it today?
JAB Posted August 20, 2007 Report Posted August 20, 2007 This is probably too late but last night I was looking through an old quilting magazine (Quilt It For Kids ~ June 5, 2007) and they had a sock monkey quilt and show how to quilt a banana motif. It is a peeled banana and it looks as though a bite is taken of the banana. I decided to scan it in and show you. Here it is:
Laurie Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Posted August 20, 2007 Thanks, Julie! That is too cute........it would have been perfect for the quilt. I finished the quilt on Friday.....still need to post the pics. It came out ok.......I made some pretty wonky bananas! All in all, I'm happy with it and hope my customer will be too.

I figured I would be too late. I bet the quilt turned out really cute, I can't wait to see the pictures.
kennan100 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 See, I told you someone else would have already done it! That's so close to mine I'd be afraid to try to copyright it! The two would really be cute together, tho. Can't wait to see the pictures!
Sheri Butler Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 soo cute! love them nanners! I think you did a peel'n good job! LOL (little play on words there....)
ffq-lar Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 Great design! This has been such a fun thread!!!! Your customer will love it, as do we all!!!!
Ruthieq Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 Those bananas are awfully cute. You did a super job.

I don't think they are all that close really, you should do it!
Laurie Posted August 21, 2007 Author Report Posted August 21, 2007 my customer came this afternoon and picked it up. She is the same customer whose quilt I ripped....... I still have 3 more of hers here to do. At least she didn't take them back with her!!!!!
kennan100 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 AWWWW, how cute is that!! 'Nanners everywhere!! But most importantly...what did your customer think?
Laurie Posted August 22, 2007 Author Report Posted August 22, 2007 She really liked it! It was all just funky enough to suit the monkeys! She is a great customer!
chickenscratch Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 Too Cute. I need to make one of those for Nevaeh. She loves monkeys. I wonder where I can order that fabric.
quiltmonkey Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 Teresa, Moda makes this fabric line. You can check with your LQS or order some or check on thw www shops. Laurie, that quilt is way cute. With those loops and swirls it looks like those Monkeys are going bananas doing the Funky Dance!
kellysuequilter Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 Oh, that is adorable and your quilting suits it perfectly!
