He has fought the odds and studied so hard and passed the written test on his 4th try(they have it on tape thank goodness) and he passed the road test on his first try. He is now a semi truck driver .I am so proud of his preserverance(some told him to get disability) Well I wont even go there on this board. But any way I would love to make him some type of " keep on truckin" theme quilt to reward his never give up attitude.I just know someone here has seen one or can give a not so creative average quilter some design tips! Thanks in advance!

Thanks for mentioning Pam's truck quilt - I saw small picture of On the Road Again yesterday in her Dear Pam book advert and was going to mention it here - Lovely to see a bigger picture and so appropriate for this young man - he'll enjoy carrying that around in his bunk onboard the truck so hope his mother can make it for him.
