Cowboy Crafts Corner
Who: Okie and you!
What: Quilting, sewing lessons, and being weirdly okay about dying
When: Early January
Where: The buffet
Come one, come all to the Cowboy Crafts Corner! Your host, Okie, has placed a quickly made poster or two around the ship, and has set up shop on a bunch of pushed together buffet tables one quiet evening. Among the supplies to be found are a huge pile of Tommy Bahama shirts, collected in armfulls over the course of several days, a set of square plates borrowed from the diner, a handful of markers, one pair of scissors, two steak knives, and every sewing kit he could find in the general store.
The theme of this day's project will be quilting! There will be stations for stenciling, where participants will use the plates and markers to mark squares in the shirts, cutting, where participants will use one sharp implement or another to cut said squares out of the shirts, and sewing, where the individual squares will be made into other, much bigger squares. Okie will be keeping tabs on the stock of shirts available for disassembly and offering assistance or teaching around the sewing stations.
The main rule is to have fun! Secondary rules include not using the cutting implements on any other participants and telling Number 6 if he asks that Okie really promises to clean up after and return the plates and knives.

arrives fifteen minutes late with starbucks
And Eddie has had practice cutting up a shirt before, so if anyone needs help, Eddie is quick to assist, if Okie is busy.
By the end of the session, he's actually switched gears from quilting to making a monstrosity of his own, always the rebel. Because, as it turns out, after the mayhem of the December excursion, Eddie really wants to make another battle vest. And okay, the Tommy Bahama doesn't exactly have a selection of attire that would make someone go, "how metal," it's still something to do to take his mind off of everything.
