The Ole Pete
It's a 1993 model that we use on the farm to haul fertilizer and grain.
When our Southern Fiber Artist's group issued the challenge to make a 8"X11" piece using the theme vehicle and the color red; I thought about our old farm truck. It was mostly black with red fenders. Yes, that should work.
Using a photo filter on the computer I examined many options and finally settled on printing the outline of the truck in red and quilting over it.
Detail
I usually like to quilt +/- 1/8" lines across the quilt. This time I decided to go half way between those lines for double the quilting. You can see the difference it makes on this next picture.
And yes, I like the effect it produced. I'll have to try it again sometime.
