Thanks, Alex's Auntie Bev thinks he's pretty special! With no grandchildren of my own, I love spoiling Alex and his sister Audra. They each have quilts and fun pillowcases I've made them.

What about a pre-school coloring book for truck patterns. I know they have had them in the past that are only trucks...various types. The shapes are very basic. If you can't find something, let me know...I could probably draw something for you.

this is a fatcats kid's pattern. they only do the barest outline for applique,but it's easy enough to figure it out. are you doing machine applique or needleturn? |
I like the one at Pottery Barn. Just buy it. It is easier. lol

I remember some 'boy applique quilts in a book called something, something, rotary cutter quilts.... they had Dinosuars & trucks. If it comes right down to it, pick up a coloring book and make your own pattern, or go to the internet... search for coloring pages ... there's alot of simple images you could trace.. I'll look forward to seeing your fabulous Pottery Barn quilt! Good luck

Hey Anna,
here's a couple fotos from the book I was talking about,... it's called More quick rotary quilts, by Pam Bono designs. Aren't they cute? |
Adorable! I think I need to get that book...

you guys are all so amazing!!! thank-you for all the helpful comments!!!
this forum is amazing really. i was so inpspired that i tackeled machine applique for the first time, and loved it so much that i was doing wild, (but silent) happy dances in my house....(kids were napping). then as i kept reading and seeing, i started free motion machine quilitng. i'm in LOVE! i mean i just finished stippling an ENTIRE quilt!!! shock!! needless to say that oodles of practice runs are in order for me, and now i'm dabbling in dreaming of a new machine... but thats for anohter post. oh! and i must say that i was now also brave enough to order my sons fabric. so while i'm waiting for it to arrive i'll check out all of those coloring pages,etc. thanks again everyone! you all rock! :) a |
I made this truck quilt from the book by Bono. Turned out to be a fantastic quilt. It's a great book to have because there are lots of other quilts you'd probably love in it.
