I cant help but wish to share with you all what Sandra did for me. It is a Kokopelli, something my dad dearly loved, he always told me to never get a tatoo, when he passed away my daughter and daughter in law all three got one.
Well Sandra found a pattern for paper piecing and she did one. I have to show off what she did because she struggled with this for 3 days at least!! I will frame it and hang it on the wall with my dad's pictures!!

Kokopelli

this pattern was one of the hardest I have ever done!!! and working it backwards with out a photo made it even harder at times I would spend an hour on 2 little peices trying to get them together right to where it matched up decently. but I over came and succeded I won't be doing it again lol.
my dear friend is like the sister I never had and shes really a speical person in my life and others. It was worth the pain.
Love you.

Love the colors she used. It would make a great tatoo.

Amazing!

I have the same fabric as in your avatar. No clue yet what I am using it for--probably a stack 'n whack.
