This should be interesting...DH wants me to make him a quilt with a lot of his interests incorporated into it. It's going to take a while to come up with everything, but I sure hope I can do it. So far the list of must haves is:
Chinook Helicopters Tools Motorcycles Indians Owls Eagles By the time I can gather all these up, there will probably be others too. I think it's going to be a challenge to make being a novice here. Am shaking in my boots! Right now, I just got some owl panels to make for his mom who collects them. |
do you have an embroidery machine???

sounds fabulous! i bet as you start collecting you will find more and more to add...could be an i-spy type quilt with lots of different (novelty)fabrics. something like an attic windows with a different (activity-past time) in each window would be pretty cool. as you collect, remember us...i'm sure some of us can help you come up with some squares of needed fab's; in fact later this am i will go in and poke around a bit, i know i have some helicopter fabric, trains, clocks, tools (power i think) i would be more than happy to pass on a piece of these if you find you need any of them, and other's probably will be willing to add to your gathering too.

Perhaps you can find a good picture and print it on fabric? (or have it printed in a copyshop (don't know if that's the tern you use but I hope you know what I mean).

Maybe you can put this in the Members/buy/sell/swap section... and find the fabrics since you need smaller amounts of these :D:D:D |
