This new fabric release by Riley Blake Designs, "Little Engine That Could", brought back a lot of memories of my elementary school days and reading the book to my children. Even my five year old grandson knew the story!
The prints are vibrant, 100 per cent cotton, and look amazing in my quilt, "I Know I Can!" which measures 45" x 45" when finished.
Riley Blake has captured the whole book in its fabric line and I think you'l love it as much as I do. The book "The Little Engine That Could" was published in 1930 by Watty Piper. The book encourages us to not give up and to keep on trying, which is still great advice 90 years later.
Look at all the fun fabrics you can choose from!
I love that argyle design and thought it was perfect for the binding.
Applique is kind of my thing, so I added a train and clown to the center. He's a happy train, isn't he!
I love using EZ Print Lite Sheets by ThermOWeb for my applique...no tracing! Just print in your inkjet printer and your designs are ready.
I will certainy have to get that. I used to read that book to my son every day at naptime! Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteThat's just adorable. I have a couple of "book" panels. I should try something like this with them.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a winner! So amazing to think how very appropriate this book is to children today, after 90 years!
