We Have a Convoy!
 
5 Attachment(s)
My friend asked me to finish a quilt she was gifting to a family friend who is a long distance trucker. When she dropped it off she said "just some meandering will be okay". Once I got it on my frame I knew "just some meandering" was not enough. Some quilts speak to me an this simple one was one of those being as I knew who the recipient was. And as is my wont I included 3 cartoons: The truck that has a MISSION, the truck that just wants to get HOME and of course, the truck who is his MISTRESS!!
I know my friends have a sense of humour and this will be with the gentleman for a long time.

How special is this quilt, espacially as you know the person that it is going to, awesome.

Really great job!

I love how the trucks aren't real obvious at first. He will surely be delighted when he discovers them. I know what you mean about how some quilts speak to you, especially when you know who the recipient will be.

callie 06-27-2013 05:40 AM

Great quilting job and how special you are to include something especially for this long-distance hauler. You are a talented quilter!! My DH, who has been gone for nearly 3 years used to say, he hauled from water to water. I know he would have loved your quilting job and am sure the recipient of this quilt will too.

Jingle 06-27-2013 07:01 AM

Beautiful quilt, gorgeous quilting.

serenitybygrace 06-27-2013 01:17 PM

You did a very good job on the quilting. I love the trucks you included.

Cindy60545 06-28-2013 01:47 AM

I love this! I was a trucker for 20 years & now make quilts for truckers on occasion. Where did you find the trucks? Inquiring minds need to know!

Google the free Colouring pages for children. You can find almost anything there.

Love the trucks! Great design features.
I often felt that DH 's truck was a very demanding mistress!

Knitette 06-28-2013 02:25 AM

Just wonderful!

Krystyna 06-28-2013 03:00 AM

That is so clever! It totally elevates the quilt into something quite special.
