Silsbee Tigers

These young men look like they are ready to play some ball!  The Quilt was donated to the team for their banquet and fund raiser.  My Great-nephew, Trevis, is kneeling on the left end.  The first picture I received was blurry, so I am so happy this one came in time for Friday Finishes.

Although I have made this pattern several times, I have been taking pictures to post the pattern and instructions.  Believe it or not .... we have 9-patches, rail fences, squares and HSTs .... all easy blocks. The hardest thing for me was the Tiger in the center.

The part to my long arm came in today, so I will be happy tomorrow if all comes together.  I want to have a good night sleep before tackling the repair.  If all goes well, I hope to have 2 deadline quilts done by Sunday night. If not .... well, let's not go there.

Linking with Sarah and Confessions of a Fabric Addict tonight .... poor Sarah -- her Jolene is waiting for a part too.  I know EXACTLY how she feels - lost.

School Pride Update

The second School Pride Top is on the wall.  The first is on the quilting frame....one to go.  I am soooo not an applique expert.  The Tigers took forever to cut out with tiny little scissors and careful turning.  I used Heat n Bond Lite (first time) and really like the softness after ironing.

The Friday link up at Sarah's Confession of a Fabric Addict is filling up.  So many are busy with Christmas projects....thank goodness I have the weekend for more sewing time.
