Thread: I am looking for something that might be impossible to find anymore

I have some printed quilt blocks that are line drawings of Oregon Light houses, blue lines on white, and a set of Oregon trail line drawings, brown on white. I thought I had a set of Oregon covered bridges, line drawn pictures on muslin. These are sort of like illustrations from a book. I cannot find the covered bridges I thought I had, I have done the light houses and Oregon trail quilts and wanted the covered bridges as well. It does not have to be Oregon covered bridges, just covered bridges in general. All I can find are painted full color ones...anyone understand what I am talking about? I have googled until I am blue and cannot find them...somewhere is a set languishing in a stash....can anyone help me find them?

The same company that did "Over The Hill to Grandmother's House" has a covered bridge series of blocks to do in Redwork I believe. Nope, I was wrong it's a Vintage Tin series from www.crabapplehillstudio.com
There is a Redwork pattern series for covered bridges blocks though somewhere.

I just started working on this last night, well I embroidered one of the small blocks last night. It does seem to take forever to get the pattern on the blocks. I have a cousin who works on old cars, trucks and motorcycles. I hope he will love it. I'm doing mine with a more copper look instead of flat browns.

I googled sketches of covered bridges http://coveredbridgesociety.org/down...topics_toc.pdf If I understand right, you can download copies. If not, maybe find a book at library or book store and print on fabric? Try pencil drawing also.

Oh yes this is it. Come to think on it I bought the others at Forget Me Knots in Bandon. I will make a trip to see if they can get me what I need. Thanks. And where on the net did you find this info...I searched for hours and found nothing.

or "Oregon Covered Bridges - Designs by J. Marie Norris" , also from Oregon Peddler, same address. They come in Navy or Brown.
