The Patriots Fan!

Here is the New England Patriots fan bird. I actually looked up what the Patriots uniforms looked like so I could try to get it right. At home games, the Pats wear their blue jerseys, and their pants were silver, so I made my bird's legs silver. The colored squares on the white background are no accident. It reminded me of confetti.

 The folding and stacking continues. (And ironing. I'm ironing a lot of this stuff.)



If you want to make your own birds, you can get my tutorial at my Etsy shop. It's an instant download so you can get started right away, and since I haven't said it in a long time, these birds are made without traditional patterns or templates and they are not paper pieced.

I Am a Bad Woman

I really wanted to have a New England Patriots T-shirt when I visited my son in California, but I couldn't find anything I liked in the stores. I was chatting with a friend of mine and she said, "Oh just order it online."  Yeah, but it won't get here before I leave, I told her.

"Have it shipped to his house," was her perfect and utterly logical reply.

OH HOT DAMN! What an awesome idea...

So I ordered the one in the photo above, which says everything.

Hey, I said I was a bad woman!
