Each of the cars has a representational figure that (supposedly) the hobos would use to decide if the train was safe to hitch a ride on, or not.
I had to ask my neighbour, who is a train freak (and I mean that in the nicest way) which was the caboose and which was the engine. Because what I know about trains would fit in a thimble.
Interesting back.
Sadie was barking up a storm in the backyard so I went out to see what had her knickers in a twist. She was just ordering from the waiter: squirrel pie for supper. That dumb squirrel hung up there from 10:30 am until 6:00 pm, even though I brought Sadie in the house for most of the day.

DeleteI contacted the woman who made the quilt and this is her response:
Hi Helen-Mary: Here are the hobo quilt book details. Glancing through this again, it almost makes me want to start another one. A few comments to your blogger would be these: major ingredient is patience; difficult to accommodate the many fabric weights & colours you need; cut your pieces only when you’re having a good day. Happy spring time Enid
