Car Mat

I made this little mini-quilt from one of my six-year-old’s drawings.  She found a Monopoly car and started making roads for the car on her magnetic drawing board.  I particularly liked this drawing, so I scanned it in, traced it in Illustrator and digitized it for machine embroidery.  She also wanted to make coloring pages for her friends from the line drawing, so we printed some out and sent them to school.

  1. So so great, and I love seeing the progression from step to step. She’ll have to make something for the little Monopoly doggy, too, that was always my favorite…

  2. I think this is an adorable idea!

    Sadly I’ll have to wait to buy an extra attachment so that my sewing/emb machine will be able to do this. Soon, Someday, Soon!

    Until then, I’ll dream of all the fun I can have.

  3. I have been dreaming of something like this for wooden cars, trains, etc. Yours turned out beautifully!

  4. that’s so insanely cool! I wish I could do machine embroidery 🙁 I love your blog! just found it and there are so many great ideas here, thanks so much!

  5. This is simply gorgeous! I have been thinking about a matt/pouchy type take-along project for the Hot Wheels that are taking over our life. What an amazing way to use your daughters art in an embroidered design!
