Here's one that I couldn't risk posting until now.

I made this pillow for my Dad for Father's Day but couldn't give it to him until this last weekend. I could have mailed it but I wanted to see his face when I gave it to him. It is always so hard to buy a gift for Dad... When I was little he used to re-build these old cars... in particular the 1931 Plymouths like on the pillow. He is also a coffee-addict. Notice how I strategically placed the car applique over the fabric so that the man with the coffee is driving!



I got him a couple Hot Rod magazines too. He really liked it! Here is a look at the cover without the pillow...

So sweet! No wonder he loved it!

I can imagine how happy your Dad was :)
At first sight I thought the car was printed originally on the fabric.... Wow, it's sooo great application!!!
