Stencils
Has anyone ever seen any quilting stencils for playing cards? I'm looking for a poker card game theme for a quilt I want to make for my husband. He is a big poker player and I want to quilt his quilt with a poker theme.
Any info and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thank Susan

I had thought of that Boston1954 just don't think I'd be very good at it. But, how hard can it be, those shapes should be easy enough. I might just have to try it. I don't want to waste a lot of time looking for them. I seem to do that alot when starting a quilt. It's usually the fabric I get stuck on. I get this imagine of what I want in my head and nothing I find is good enough and I usually end of settling on what ever I can find and I'm very seldom happy with it. So, making my own might be the way to go. Thanks so much for the suggestions!

These are only 3/4" tall, but they are suit symbols.

You could take a deck of cards, tape together one from each suit in the shape/style you want and lay a piece of template plastic over them to trace. Then cut with an exacto knife if you don't have a dremel/melting tip.

Here are a bunch of clip art images. Cupy them on a copier, using enlarge if you want, then use golden paper & pounce or trace on template plastic. Search clip art card suit images.
