Where can I find.....?
My son wants me to make him a lap quilt in the image of a racing horse
blanket. Does anyone know where I can get templates (or anything else) with numbers and letters? I guess this quilt needs them to be appliquéd. (shudder). It's supposed to have a big number on it and the name of the horse in letters. Thank you for any help. Barb in Florida |

Howdy!
Here's a good pic of a racing horse blanket: http://tinyurl.com/qj6b3 and some templates that are large and plain: http://www.dltk-teach.com/numbers/simple-numbers.htm letters for those names: http://www.dltk-teach.com/alphabuddies/marcysabcs.htm You could stencil them on and embroidery or paint them. Good luck, Barb! (Rather you than I. g) Ragmop/Sandy On 6/14/06 12:15 PM, in article , " wrote: My son wants me to make him a lap quilt in the image of a racing horse blanket.

remember that you can print letters in your word processor quite large... even just one per page --
just change the font size to like 300 or 400 or whatever... keep playing with the font size until you get what you want. Kate in MI wrote in message ...

Barb in Florida Barb, if you're not keen on appliqué, you might want to think about paper-pieced letters and numbers. Carol Doak's _300 Paper-Pieced Quilt Blocks_ has the entire alphabet and all the numbers you'd need. It comes with a CD-ROM with the patterns on it, and you can resize them from the original 3" to whatever size you like.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I actually have the Carol Doak book and
didn't think to look there. Thank you all once again. Barb C in FL "Sandy Foster" wrote in message ... wrote in message ...
