Spirit Pants

Got these babies done in about 90 minutes.  They are from a great book I picked up on Amazon.  I really like the Farbenmix and Studio Trantrum patterns, but they are sold as individual patterns and they are VERY flamboyant.  It's hard to choose one pattern. The patterns are traditional tissue patterns and the directions are pretty good. I would say appropriate for an advanced beginner.  BUY this book - you won't have to choose !  The price is terrific also: it's about the same price as one of the patterns.   The book includes TEN patterns.  The only thing you need to remember to do is add the seam allowance and you are off and running.  Like my girl and her Dad.  They were off and running to the UConn game.  They won 62-3.  My guess it was because of the Spirit Pants!

great day

I am sitting here listening to the rain and reflecting on my wonderful day. Great morning at church for Palm Sunday. then off to visit Make and Mingle and create a couple of quilt squares for a wonderful cause. I know some fantastic ladies - Jen Paganelli, Nancy Geaney, Karen and Natalie (Make and Mingle Mistresses) their sister Linda and a few new friends I just met :-) The quilt squares will be quilted together and sent to Haiti. Awesome.

My little person made a quilt square on her own with just a bit of help on her Hello Kitty sewing machine. LOVE spending this meaningful time with her - I find that I can spend more time focusing on her outside of the house doing projects like this. We need to do more of this. When we are home, I am so distracted with lots of other stuff. Birdie had a seriously fun and rewarding day. She was very proud of herself and I was proud of her! Satisfied and content.
