About me:
   My name is Monica Peacock. I have always loved sewing & crafts for as long as I could remember. I wanted to be an interior designer or owning my own crafting store, but life had other plans for me.
   I married my sweet heart at a young age. It has been over 20 years & we are still very much in love as the day we met. We started a family early in our marriage & we grew up with our children. When my daughter was young, I made most of her cloths because she was so tiny & it was hard to find cloths to fit her properly.
    Then my life changed August 2007, I suffered a massive stroke. the doctors gave me 15% chance of living & if I did live I would be vegetative state. Through modern medicine, fast acting doctors, nurses & prayers of my friends, family & strangers, God performed a miracle for me & I left the hospital a week after my stroke. After months of rehab, surgeries and re-learning how do basic things, I was on the road to recovery. My sewing machine was stored away. I got rid of all my fabric believing I would never be able to sew again. 
   Fast forward to 2012, I struggled what to give my daddy for his birthday. A dear friend of my family made a quilt for my husband. I seen how much he loved it and still does (we "fight" over it at bed time...lol). That is when I decided to dust off my sewing machine & make my daddy a Coca~Cola quilt. I have learned through trial and error what material to use & not use. I was officially hooked on quilting. It has been the best therapy for me. Below is a picture of my daddy's quilt.
   After over 25 years, my childhood dream has finally come true, I now am the proud owner & operator of my sewing and craft store, The Quilted Peacock, INC. I am looking forward to many years of sales and services to my customers. #Godsewlovedtheworld #thequiltedpeacock

I made this Batman Quilt for my niece who is an avid Batman fan. This was my own design and pattern. The houses, windows and logo were all appliqued. 

Picture
  I was in the Starbucks mug swap. The idea came from a reusable cup that looked similar to this mug. I drew up a rough sketch and literally "winged" it on this mug rug. It was quite an experience to say the least. I was so surprised with the finished product.

Picture
I joined a Beetles mini swap. I embroidered the faces and title. I used a vinyl record that I had, to made a template of a record. I free motioned quilted some of the beetles hit songs. The recipient of this mini was Carol Lyles Shaw! How cool is that!

Picture
When someone would ask me when I was going to make them a quilt, my husband would always say , " she hasn't even made me one yet, she must not love me" joking of course. So for his 40th birthday I surprised him. He is an avid fisherman and diver. I appliqued the sea animals and diver. I pieced the dive flag and boarder. Then I had this brilliant idea to free motion quilt all the details of the animals in glitter thread. Worst mistake ever. It not only took me forever ( 5 days of quilting them), but the tread would continually break, even with needle changes. I did a kelp/seaweed like quilting on the rest and put a secret message to my husband within the kelp/seaweed. After about 30 bobbin fills, I was finally done with his quilt. Never again will I think it is a good idea to do this type of crazy quilting, but on the back of the quilt it looks pretty awesome. ​

Picture
This quilt was made with the Puddle Jump pattern. I thought making all the blocks would never end. forget about all the pieces I had to cut. Yikes!  I am impatient like that, sometimes! Anyways it was for my big brother who never needs anything and is very hard to buy for. Mijo, you know who you are! I love him very much. Where is the heart emoji when you need one.
