I live in a town that has about 100 trains a day go through. I also worked for many years at the police department and we had "train bums" come to the police department on a regular basis both for good and bad reasons. I wish I had known about these signs at the time so I could have asked them. I figure it will take me a while to finish as I only work on it occasionally. Good luck to everyone.

The embroidery is a companion package to the book. It has some of the same blocks that are pieced in the book, but they are "applique in the hoop" with the embroidery package.

Here are four more I got completed today. funny two are backwards, I even reversed them, maybe I'll just leave them this way. This makes 24 completed blocks almost 1/2 done.

This is really a great ideal, may have to use it?? I live in a town that has about 100 trains a day go through. I also worked for many years at the police department and we had "train bums" come to the police department on a regular basis both for good and bad reasons.

Nancy I would love to see some of your finnished blocks. |

Oh cute!!! What a fun idea and I had never heard of it.

I'm only working on mine every once in a while, so it might be a while before I have any pictures. I'd work on it more, but I'm like a busy airport and seem to have several projects stacked up in front of the hobo quilt.
