Steam engine fabric

I was at a quilting retreat the last 2 days and one of the women asked
the rest of us to keep our eyes open for fabric with steam engines on
it. Have any of you ever seen anything like that? I do plan to do some
Internet searching when I have a little more time, but thought someone
might have seen some and could save me some time.

By the way, I had a good time, as always, at the retreat. We have a new
building for our retreat in this year, with more room, good lighting,
and big windows overlooking a gorgeous view of the hills in SE MN. Also
nice sleeping rooms in the same building. I'm almost done with the paper
pieced autumn leaves wall quilt that I started last month in our guild's
workshop with Carol Doak. All I have left is the borders.

There's a fabric with engines on it, and a matching one of tracks, that I've
seen in a couple of local shops here. I got a dab thereof, mebbe do summat with
it eventually :-)

If the link doesn't come up go to www.equilter.com and put 'train' in the

Hope this helps,

This might be of some help, I found this fabric with antique trains, 3
different kinds and a set of antique tracks. Hope it helps.

No, Sorry I haven't, but last night I was looking in the Keepsake Quilting
catalog and they had the same fabric in there on Page 76. I've ordered from
them before and was pleased with the service. In case you don't have the
catalog here's the web addy. www.keepsakequilting.com
