Some childhood friends.

If you're old enough and grew up in the U.S. you probably recognize The Partridge Family. I would never have missed an episode. I believe they aired on Friday nights after The Brady Bunch in the early 70s. If you're not familiar with them it was a sitcom about a family musical group. They actually did record and have some hit records although the only cast members who were part of the actual recordings were Shirley Jones, top left, and David Cassidy, top middle.

*Added an edited image of the cutting if anyone would like to use it as a pattern.

Oh I remember The Partridge Family. Had a BIG crush on Shirly Jones. Didn't watch The Brady Bunch. Your cutting is Awesome!!!

[Scrappile]

I have always heard it is very difficult to get a pattern of a group of people.... Looks to me like you have it mastered... That is an awesome job on the pattern and an awesome job on the cutting of the pattern!

I actually played a few songs by them for a school auditorium in 1970 while a bunch of schools girls sang and fainted LOL

Yeah, I remember it fondly

Awesome pattern and cutting!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. This one makes me smile, so time well spent I suppose.  Sort of a swing and a miss on Danny's freckles. I made them too big and tried filling them with wood putty to make them more subtle but it didn't help much. Not a big deal since he'll never leave my shop but I think I'll just skip freckles from now on.  Thanks again.

Boy, that’s an old show.  I watched that when I was little.  Getting old I guess.  Great job.
