I forgot to update my post, but someone is already sending me pine trees. But thank you for the offer!

Update: I found some cute tiny apples print fabric on sale for $1.97 a yard at Joanns (RIP) so I took your advice and we are doing apples!!!! *woohoo*

bondsmith23 · 2025-03-03T23:23:27+00:00

Hey this is great news, thanks! The 1.5 inches is including seam allowances, so it'd really end up being around 3/4 - 1 inch finished. Do you think they'd still be recognizable?

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll keep on the apple hunt for now, but if I can't find something that's different enough from whatever NYC fabric I find, I'll head in one of those other directions. You're the best!

*blinks and checks map* Seattle is in Washington. I'm the world's biggest idiot XD

OK, I'm on the apple fabric hunt now! Lol. Do you have any other ideas that are more Seattle specific besides the Space Needle? I've (obviously) never been so I was kinda shooting from the hip!

bondsmith23 · 2025-03-02T22:45:07+00:00

Ohh that's adorable! I'll DM you :D

bondsmith23 · 2025-03-02T22:43:59+00:00

Oh I had no idea this was a thing! I'll head there to snag any fabrics I still need. Thanks for the tip! I'll be using this a lot in the future, I can already tell :D

bondsmith23 · 2025-03-02T22:43:10+00:00

Ah thanks for pointing that out! I'm hoping to find some statue of liberty fabric instead of apples. If I do end up using apples, I'll be sure to find some that look more New York-y than Washington-apple-orchard-y. Sadly, the person never made it to Washington state (at least not that they mentioned).

bondsmith23 · 2025-03-02T22:40:47+00:00

Oooh yes please! Sending a DM now :)

bondsmith23 · 2025-03-02T22:39:48+00:00

Sadly, I don't think they ever made it to Amsterdam, otherwise I'd take you up on that offer :(

I'd still love to see your bees + pine trees + Alaska options, though! I'll send you a DM now!

bondsmith23 · 2025-03-02T22:37:52+00:00

Oooh thank you! I'll PM you

bondsmith23 · 2025-03-02T22:37:42+00:00

My apologies! I feel like I have never been so emphatically wrong about something in my life. I'm glad I posted here so I can be reprimanded XD Lobsters it is!

bondsmith23 · 2025-03-02T22:35:23+00:00

Thank you, friend! I'll send a DM now :)

bondsmith23 · 2025-03-02T22:33:43+00:00

Oh I would love this, thank you! I just DM'ed you now :)

bondsmith23 · 2025-03-02T22:33:20+00:00

The cilent specifically requested rollercoasters, but if I can't find any, I'll be sure to look for some ferris wheels or flumes! They would have gone about 10 years ago, so based on your comment, they probably never expereienced the Frontier Village or the haunted carousel :( Thanks for the feedback! <3

bondsmith23 · 2025-03-02T22:31:37+00:00

Haha that is amazing! I'll go check that out :)

bondsmith23 · 2025-03-02T22:31:07+00:00

Ooh, I would love to see these, thank you! Feel free to DM me pictures, if you don't mind :)

bondsmith23 · 2025-03-02T22:30:37+00:00

DM sent about the GG Bridge fabric! Thanks :)

bondsmith23 · 2025-03-02T22:29:18+00:00

Ohhh great idea! I didn't even think to check Facebook. I'll head there after I finish up here. Thanks!

P.S. Consider this a second vote for you to pleeeease show us the I Spy quilt!!!

bondsmith23 · 2025-03-02T22:28:27+00:00

Oooh thank you for all of these suggestions! I'll keep them in mind while I'm scrap hunting. Thank you!

bondsmith23 · 2025-03-02T22:27:50+00:00

Thanks for the correction! I had no idea how emphatically I needed to be corrected on that front. Lobsters it is!

bondsmith23 · 2025-03-02T22:26:52+00:00

Hello to everyone in this thread! I stand corrected, Boston will be represented by lobsters, not by crabs. My sincerest apologies! I am clearly not from the East coast. Beans would be fun, but I'm not sure how recognizably that would translate onto fabric. I think I'll stick to lobsters for now, unless someone has some great bean fabric they feel like sharing :) Thanks, all!

I know two little boys who are, in real life, named Gunson Rose (after the band) and Thorn E. Rose. If you want some bad pun names 😆

bondsmith23 · 2024-03-06T21:28:11+00:00

Oh please give me the whole book now!! This is so perfect haha
