I started this quilt about 10 years ago. WHAT!!!! Yes, seriously. It was a jelly roll race at quilt guild. So much fun!!! Mine was not from a jelly roll. I used white and all the 2" strips I'd already cut for watercolor quilts.
It just took me awhile to figure out how to finish it! hahahahahahahahahaha
I painted the words using fabric paint and stencils.
I looked online to find the perfect Shasta camper and 1953 Chevy pickup.
And finally found a good picture of my little Bailey to put in the window. I bought some of that photo fabric that you put through the printer.
I used to make my own and adhere the fabric to freezer paper but my printer will no longer accept it.
Next step is to get the applique hand-sewn to the top and I can get quilting on it.
I have my favorite batting on it's way, Quilter's Dream Wool!!! Love that stuff.
Happy Quilting friends!!!

Oh, this is so cool! I have a 55' Bellwood trailer, the 'vintage' types create so much conversation... And your quilt will, too! Wonderful!

Thank you Cat!! I am so excited to finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel on this one. I just love it and now with Bailey in it, it makes it even better!!!
DeleteDoesn't it feel good to resurrect old projects and move them toward a finish? This is a cute one, and you've enhanced it beautifully with painted words, and personalization - Bailey. I remember ruining a printer when trying to send through freezer paper adhered to muslin. One attempt was enough, wrapping muslin threads around the printer roll. I've been a printable fabric-user ever since, my favorite brand being EQ Printables. Have fun finishing this quilt!
