I am looking for either a Volkswagen Beetle (not too small) or a Mini Cooper. I am sure I have seen a Mini with a Union Jack. Thank you in advance. Sarah

Try this if it works Sara, lots of images of embroidery VW designs and if you find one you like just click on it to enlarge and it should give you options to visit the page where it is available.

If you search using google scroll down the results and look for the one containing images.
I added this one to get you started :-)

Gret news!
I did see a Mini Cooper with British flag on it for sale on Ebay.

this link has a quilt type design set, one is a mini cooper. http://www.bargainembstore.com/index.php/quiltblocks/3429-br003-qayg-muscle-cars-quilt-blocks<br /><br />
<br /><br />
I used the set to make two quilts, but only used a few of the designs not all and while I love the red and black trim on each block, I didn't want to do as much stitching as those added. The flag sounds like a really neat idea to have on it too, wish I knew where else you might find one.

Thank you Toogie, I hope so, the mini cooper one hasn't been delivered yet but here is a link to my lap quilts, I have no way to quilt like a pro and low budget too, so mostly just used a quilt as you go method like on Maureen mckracken I think is her name then just anchored my sheet or fleece backing in spots. I don't embroider too much these days it seems. I was always better at collecting. lol

Your quilt is just beautiful. Unfortunately the designs are too big for my hoop

These are gorgeous Sharon! I keep saying I want to do a chevron but I also love your 'Snug as a Bug'. You should make them larger than lap size too, you're so good at it. Thanks for posting.

Thank you all so much! No Toogie, the lap size is quite big enough lol. If they got any bigger than I would have to do 7 altogether, and they could all be unfinished projects. lol
Sarah, you might email or contact the seller on the bargain embroidery store, they may make them smaller for you. Or they may separate the mini cooper out if you didn't want the whole design it is worth a try, the car itself isn't really very big it's the rest of the block that makes it that large. They are very nice people to work with. Thank you all. Sharon

Thank you all. I have found a VW which I think will be just fine. Not too many stitches either. Thanks again
