    Default "Scenic-Wonderland in our Station-Wagon"

    This was made for a Mid-Valley Quilt Guild Challenge which is to use the first initial of your first and last name and create a piece no bigger than 120". It really should be Station-Wagon in a Scenic Wonderland because I knew I wanted to create a 55 Chevy Nomad that my husband and I wanted to buy desperately when we were first married. Unfortunately it was purchase this or save for a house and the house won but we coveted this car and I still do. (I put our pictures in the car that were taken last year) It is still owned by a friend of my husband so I get to see it from time to time. The background is suppose to be driving on a forest service road (we wouldn't do this in a collector car!!) as my husband would rather do that than drive a highway anyday! Thank you for looking.

    That must have been fun to make. Like how you handled all the chrome on your old Chevy!
