work in progress: car mat

Here are the beginnings of a 'car mat' for Henry. I wanted to make something for him that he can use with his Matchbox cars at home or on the run. He is always vroom vrooming them around the house and I thought it would be fun to have a little road with houses and such. Although I have some more stitching I thought I would share. I started with a piece of fabric about 36"x24", cut out a road and have started layering on houses, a boat, buildings and a lake. My goal is to give it to Henry with some new shiny cars in his Easter basket.
