One nice little thing that I finished up (my part) was freemotion sewing some fused fabric onto Darrin's Patrol Flag for scouts. His patrol has been working towards reaching Honor Patrol (not sure Daniel or Darrin's patrols have met all the requirements in the past), and getting the flag done was one requirement. I supplied fabrics and Steam-a-Seam and Darrin went by a drawing in figuring out cutting and placement. Tonight the scouts will do whatever to their ducks and stick them on the flag where they want. I'll have to go back over the ducks with a stitch though as I found that the pre-sticky felt is not permanent and comes up easily (even more easily than S-a-S). I am really glad I had this win in the freemotion today... I needed that!
The patrol name the boys chose? Exploding Duckies! haha! That's a tween boy for you! Although I wonder if anyone suggested farting duckies? Maybe that isn't scoutlike :)
Ducks or farting Cows. Boys humor escaped me too when my boys were in their tweens. A win is a win. I'd do the cookies thing too, if I could. I did some FMQ last night to get my Challenge Quilt finished. It was too small for Betsy. Time to get another quilt on her to be Quilted this month. Good Job MOM!
ReplyDeleteGood job on the flag. Scouts were not big here so my kids were never involved. I had a rough week, I need to send you an email! But tomorrow is National Quilting Day so I am going to quilt!
