Camerons Teepee for Christmas. #96522 is all I recorded on the cow skull so I can't tell you where it is from. The Indian is from Sew Forum. I will try to post 2 photos so look below, please. I started this yesterday morning and just finished at 9:30 pm tonight. My neck and back burn.Oh, and the pattern is Butterick B4251, got for $1.99 @ Hancocks Sat. when I went shopping. I only have a 4x4 hoop but look what you can do with several designs.(Had to re-hoop 4 times!)Hope you all like, and boy will Cam be surprised!-Toogie

This is terrific, I made these several years ago for my grandchildren...one in pink for the girls and one in camo for the boys! I didn't embroider them though, so yours is so much nicer! He will love this.

PS. I forgot to add, the fabric was FREE. The woman I work with gave me the fabric. She had gotten it for less than a dollar per yard,(50 cents,I think she said) and when she purchased it, she bought the whole bolt.She never did the project it was intended for, so it was good for me! She doesn't know it, but I have a surprise Gift in return for the fabric. I am cutting her grandson out one this morning, and she still has fabric left! The pipes cost $18. at Lowes, the beads at the top where it crosses were on clearance for .50 a pack, needed 2.Beside that , my thread and stabilizer, so I think I made a nice inexpensive gift, don't you? My plan is to let Santa bring it to him (I've already bought his gift). He won't realize that I made it until he is older. I am doing it to help his parents.My son is working but they are having a rough time, because his wife is sick. My son doesn't even know that I made this. I am not sure how we will give it. I would like is ,to go set it out Christmas eve ,and let everyone find it Christmas morning. Not sure if I could pull it off though.-T
