Monkeyin' Around

If you're a member of our Monkey House FB community, you have undoubtedly 'met' Brooke Witsberger. Always ready to comment, support, and cheer on the crowd, now it's our turn. Originally created as a way to feature a particular fabric from Dashwood Studio, Brooke translated the pattern into Gems and Stones as her debut, and we are thrilled to carry the pattern exclusively at 5 Little Monkeys. Taking a cue from Brooke, we love using this pattern to highlight our obsession du jour. Most recently, it was superheroes, but we've also used Alexander Henry and Tula Pink as our muses....

In February of 2020, Angie was thrilled to have this quilt featured in Quilt Sampler Magazine's Spring/Summer 2020 issue. This was her first published pattern and originally featured fabric from Tula Pink's Monkey Wrench collection from Free Spirit Fabrics (appropriate, we thought!)

The center row is just the 2 colors intertwined yet easily identifiable as it's own color.   The pattern designed and...

Don't Fear the Curves   Floral Felicity is inspired by perfect summer days at Grandma's country cottage.   This is a fun quilt-along quilt that is new and fresh, yet nodding to an old-timey quilt that you might find at your grandmother's house.   With fabric by Cottage Cloth, this quilt was designed by Helen Robinson and Jenny Pedigo of Sew Kind of Wonderful. We love that this quilt can be one large quilt or four smaller ones.   For advanced beginners and up, quilt allows practice making curves using the Wonder Curve Ruler.   The quilt-along will be held...
