Special quilt for my husband.

My husband was working on cars starting at the age of 14 and loved it. He has always had two passions; one was drag racing and second, was restoring older model cars.  I watched him over the years restore cars. I was always amazed at how he can strip down a car and a motor and put them back together.  So what better than to make him a quilt featuring cars. I have blocks that have older model cars printed on them that I am embroidering and I printed onto fabric a couple of pictures of him in either his drag racing cars or his son's car.  I have two blocks done with the hand embroidering and have 7 more to do.

The first picture are the printed embroidery blocks and the others on the picture are pictures that I printed on fabric.



The picture below is one of the blocks that I have hand embroidered. The embroidering will take me a little bit then I will start on figuring out how I am going to lay out the quilt.
