Socky the Monkey - and a Giveaway
This contest is over (ended midnight Friday December 7)
My trusty Random Number Generator selected my winner. Alas, one of the numbers was for someone who was a "no-reply" commenter, so I had to go to the next number. I'm waiting for Cecilia to reply so I can get her mailing info.
Windham Wednesdays and a new collection that is fabulous. The Socky Collection by Whistler Studios is the sock puppet who entertains us all with his smile and his antics. As it says on the Windham web site (and I didn't know this!):
The Socky Collection by Whistler Studios for Windham Fabrics |
I created 3 blocks using my new, favorite (and quick) Twisted Hexagon block. I am addicted to this block, but I can't decide which one of these is my favorite. That's why I need your help. I plan on making a quilt using this block pattern and putting them into a giant hexagon circle (remember how I did that in the summer with the Owl fabric?). My friend Jeannine wants to help me make this quilt (as in: she sews, I write the pattern) and when it's done, it will be available for you.
Socky Block #1 (with a buddy). Note the appliqued cut-out |
Socky Block #2 (with 2 buddies), using a different fabric center |
Socky Block #2 without buddies. Don't you just love that banana fabric? |
Socky Block #3. I captured just one of the blue shirted monkeys for the center. |
What do you have to do to win? Just leave me your opinion about which is your favorite block: Number One, Two or Three. I will use the Random Number Generator to select my winner.
Remember, in order to win, I must have your email. And the contest deadline is Friday, December 7th at midnight.
Block one is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful,compliment. Block two is my favorite. Ciao Rosanna
ReplyDeleteAwesome fabrics...my pick is number 1
ReplyDeleteI like #3!
ReplyDeletegreat fabric!!! but i love the second one the best...lots of monkeys and BANANAS!
ReplyDeleteI like the mix of fabrics and colors in #2. My eldest grandson would go bananas over this fabric!
ReplyDeleteI like #3 best and #1 a close second. In those two, I think the fabrics around the edges give the center a chance to shine since they are a bit less busy than the fabrics in #2. I would save the outside fabrics in #2 for centers. So far, it seems like I'm not with the majority on this one, which happens a lot.
ReplyDeleteNumber 2 is my favorite I like the crowd of Monkeys and the fabrics selection that goes with #2.
ReplyDeleteI like #1 the best, but they're all really cute. My newest great nephew would love this fabric. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteBlock 3 is my favourite! Cute!!
ReplyDeleteI love that fabric. It brings back such wonderful memories.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is block 2. I love the yellows!
Awesome - love the twisted hexi block - number 2 is my fav. The sock monkey is adorable-- they all are!!! amycav at otmail dot com

ReplyDeleteOh the number 2 block is my favorite!

#3 is my favorite. My husband just loves sock monkeys, so I'll have to find some of this fabric! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! Block #2 is my choice!
ReplyDeletemy favorite is block 2... but I think all of the blocks intermixed in a quilt would be awesome... kids will love it... thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHard to decide between 1 and 3 but I love the blue in 3 so 3 wins.
ReplyDeleteI like the contrast in 1 & 3!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is block one. The center seems to make the monkey the 'star' of the quilt. Would love some of these fabs. My DH got laid off when Hostess closed, so alas, fabric buying is not in the immediate future~~Thank goodness for stashes!

I like Number 1. The appliqué is so cute in the center.
ReplyDeleteI like number 3! They call the techs at my hubby's work, lab monkeys, so the lab has stuffed monkys every were. I have been tempted to make a monkey wall hanging for them. =)
ReplyDeleteThese are all just two cute, I think #2 is my fav. Love way the monkeys dance around the center!

#1 - I love #1! Polka dots are a favorite and paired with the bananas - just too cute. blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteI love all the monkeys showing in block 2. That one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH! I LOVE Sock Monkeys!!!!! I would dearly love to win this. I live just 20 minutes from Rockford and each year at one of the museums here they have a Sock Monkey festival and during the festival they have a hospital there also. Anyone that has a sock monkey in need of some surgery can bring him/her there and have the surgery to repair them back to new.
ReplyDeleteI love all three of your blocks shown but, I think the third one most because of the focus on just one sock monkey and the fabric matching his top.
#3 :)
ReplyDeletei like 1 best
ReplyDeleteAll cute but block 2 is my favourite
ReplyDeleteI like block one especially the contrast. Thanks of the chance to win. mcdowallrc@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteIt was a cross between 1 & 3, but #1 won out! All 3 are darling and the fabric is precious! FYI, Eleanor Burns collects sock monkeys.....some thing I heard her say recently.
