Crafty Bear, you must be reading my mind. In 2012, I want to make a special quilt for my BIL. He and my sister lived on a paddlewheel boat for several years. They now have moved to Kansas and plan to sell the boat. I have made some photos of the boat and want to turn it into an applique that I can put in the center of the quilt ... is that clear as mud? Anyway I would be interested to know how to do that. Maybe someone on the board has done that.
