Good morning to my YooperTrails followers. I’m pleased to share some time with you.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. I’m sure we all have stories to share and special moments to remember. I’m sitting on the deck with my children’s father enjoying the heat and the sun (and a chocolate croissant) before it becomes too hot.

I have a few finishes to share.  They are of a patriotic theme. Polly’s Parade is a pattern from Polly Minick. The marching chicken is a variation of one of Polly’s creation. The Yankee Doodle is mine. I am a bit late for Flag Day and a bit early for July 4th, but here they are. I truly enjoyed working the parade. It reminds me of celebrating as a child in Mohawk.

I had the privilege of conducting another little class with Kathie and Lee. We had two official classes and now continue to meet occasionally to punch together. It is always fun to introduce new people to the punching world. We chose a cardinal for our beginning project. Here is Kathie with her finish.

After that first project Kathie was hooked. She drew up her own pattern and made the pillow below. Very impressive, is it not?  Kathie is now working on a companion piece.

Thank you for stopping by.
