Hi Cute family, I need some help finding a design of an old man, under 4x4, maybe with a walking stick, even a stick figure or caricature type. I don't have time to digitise one so would appreciated any suggestions as to where I can locate one?

No Dennis it isn't for Ray coz I wouldn't be married to him if he was old as that would make me old too. LOL!!!
TIA hugs n roses, Meganne

yes. these are the Gus designs. They were companion to the Stella designs. Several sites had them. You might also check Goldenneedles designs. I has been a couple of years since I stitched them and I have forgotten. Kay

Maybe it was Stitched Impressions. i know Sherry had some on her site. Kay

Thanks everyone.
One of my (ex) bowling partners is turning 50 so I want to make him a towel with "Old Farts Club Member" on it and I thought an old man bowling design would go well with the text, but they are surprisingly difficult to find.
I have now started digitising one as I can't justify paying $10 for a design I would have to alter anyway, when I can digitise it myself.
I guess there is a price to pay for laziness. LOL!!!!
Thanks heaps though, I got a good laugh out of the funny ones I looked at.
hugs n roses, Meg

If it's Lawn Bowls, Glenn Harris has some, Emb Lib has a simple silhouette as well. For general 'old folks' designs, I'd head straight for Emerald Originals :) Nicoles has some great Gus designs.

Actually I could give him a lawn bowler as a joke, it would be really funny. hugs, Meg
