This project was two years in the making. I found the pattern by a Victoria, BC designer on-line. On a trip to Victoria I was able to pick up the pattern from one of the quilt shops.

The train cars were filled with chocolate coins when I gave it to Taylor and Dylan in December 2013.

UPDATE: October 2017

The pockets were really too small to hold much so I’ve made a set of cross stitch ornaments that will fit inside the pockets. On any particular day the kids can pull an ornament from one of the train cars and attach it by the buttons.
