Looking for appliqued garage
 
I am making the Crabapple Hills Vintage Tins for a cousin. So far I love it but was thinking about a label. So I thought a garage with his name as the garage name?? Has anyone seen an applique pattern for a garage?? Not too big? I am keeping to the browns but with more copper tones.

Very pretty!! Is there a part of a block you could trace the pattern from and add the name for the label?

Shouldn't be hard to design. They are normally short and wide buildings with a garage door. Couldn't find anything on Google:

LOVE the fabric you used.

Love the pattern. Can you post a picture of your quilt? Was it a simple embroidery stitch? I would love to make this for my hub.

What a great pattern....I think any house pattern could be turned into a garage with a little tweaking.

Yes, it is simple embroidery, straight stitch and french knots. If you can thread a needle, watch a video, you can do it. Very detailed! I will post a photo as soon as I get finished, still embroidering at this time but got to thinking about a label. I'm big on labeling. I'm using DMC floss #400 and here are the fabrics, not a great picture though!

You could trace one of the license plates to use for the label or the Route 66 Shield. Either of those would work.

The center block is already a gas station and has a sign that says "Garage" on it, so why not name it with his last name (like Smitty's Garage) since the lettering on that sign doesn't look like it's actual writing.

Hoping for something using a different technique, like applique.

These are great idea. Shouldn't be hard. The one with the lateral garage door lines would work.
