Hi Kathy, please thank your sister for these wonderful descriptions. 
Worthwhile to keep and maybe add to as time goes by so people who are 
wanting to take classes or buy to do on their own will have some 
descriptions?

> My sister has given me some excellent descriptions of a number of the kits

> can do it themselves.
>
>
>
> If you'd please each post your two or three top choices, I will see which
> has the most votes and I will agree to get the pattern for that one and
> teach that class.

> There are other categories besides animals, but I have not delved into
