Cookie Monster Curtains
Finished the Pink Polka dot curtains with pinwheels and a Cookie Monster applique which match the toddler quilt perfectly. So that my readers can see the entire curtain panels, I took a picture showing the full panel on my wide 72" window. I "crunched" it up on the second picture to show how it will hang on the more narrow window. The rod pocket is 1 1/2 inches wide to fit a standard curtain rod. The curtain has a second fabric panel/lining to give it plenty of weight and fullness.
I hope to have the bedskirt and pillow case done tomorrow with the Sham and Valance completed by then end of next weekend. (-:

Cookie Monster Bedskirt
My project continues with my friend and neighbor, Jennifer, http://havenintheoaks.blogspot.com/ We worked today on pink polka dot curtains and a matching bedskirt. Picture shows the side panels pinned to the platform piece. It will have cute pleats on each side and I will then applique Cookie Monster for an added touch.

Cookie Monster Curtains
I have ventured on past my Cookie Monster toddler quilt onto a new project. Handmade Curtains for a little girl with...Cookie Monster (-: I am using the same pink/polka dot as in the quilt. An appliqued Cookie Monster is centered between pink and white pinwheels to border each panel, which go perfectly with the pinwheels in the quilt. Since I am using a cotton quilt fabric for the curtains, I will be adding a pink lining to give the curtains more weight.

Cookie Monster Update
The Cookie Monster toddler quilt is taking shape, I completed the quilting process today and hope to finish the binding tomorrow. I will make the binding myself before applying it to the outer edge. Depending on my time, I hope to have it completed in the next day or two. Unfortunately I have to work for a few hours tomorrow , tax season has us buried so it's been a busy few weeks with four weeks to go. My husband is wanting fried fish for Sunday Supper, and I plan to make a pot of chilli for the neighbor as well soooo Sunday will be busy indeed.

Cookie Monster
What would a Cookie Monster quilt be without cookies? I finished the quilt top, adding a pink border with chocolate chip cookes in each corner. I believe chocolate chip is Cookie Monster's favorite. The next step is to layer the top with a 100% cotton backing and Warm and white Batting. I hope to have it quilted this week.
