I have a linkable picture for Sew Crafty Friday in my right hand column if you'd like to see more or even join the fun!  =)

Here is the third quilt I ever made, well fifth if I count 2 small hand stitched and quilted pieces from high school summer phase homemaking.  =)  DS has grown up adoring trains.  I looked in vain for the perfect train pattern to quilt.  Finally, I made my own design.  This is machine appliqued and quilted so it can take lots of loving and washing!

Close up...

I got my inspiration from the walls I had painted a few years earlier. It's very simply painted, not professional by any means.  But fun and whimsical for a child. We had been to Colorado and rode lots of trains which were the inspiration point for the room.  That is the snow covered Pikes Peak behind the bulletin board.

I sewed a simple valence over his window...

In each corner on each side of his bed I painted tunnels.  Going in...

Coming out...

I painted trains on his pillow case and sheets.  I found an iron on template and painted that.  You can see the border of the pillow here.  I painted the purple mountain majesties over his bed...

His choo choo knick knack and tropy wall.  The railroad sign is a growth chart...

DH built the shelf in the photo above.  He made an engine coming out and caboose going in.  Here's the engine coming out...

And here's the caboose going in...

Goodbye! Chug-chug-chug-chug, chug-chug-chug...whoo-whoo!
