My computer wouldn't print out the patterns for the bananas and some of the other things, so I had to draw them out myself. Which explains the short fat banana! The asparagus had written directions to follow and so did the coffee cups, which were sort of off cuz the Starbucks sleeve didn't fit right. I had to take it apart and reglue. Found out that was a waste of time because Bennet tore those off first thing. Oh well. Most of the stuff I just made my own pattern. My favorite was the slice of bread. The doughnut pattern came from a Quilts and More magazine.
Basically if you google faux food, you get a lot of hits.

I really like the scarf you made too.. my M-I-L made one for each of us D-I-L's for Christmas, as well as her grandaughters, they are such pretty scarves.

I couldn't help but notice the hanger for the growth chart, is it metal or wood? My daughter does computerized metal work so I always notice those kinds of things.

Thanks. I had a blast making all this stuff. The hager is metal and came from Ackfield. When I bought the fabric for the growth chart, the hangers had just come in the LQS shipment. It was $15, but it was made specifically for Nancy Halvorsens design. The font for the chart and the hanger are the same. I didn't buy the book with instructions so I drew out my own letters for DGS's name.
