Has anyone seen this?

Post by kimblebee »

I was searching through Ebay a while ago and I came across a finished piece that I loved. It was a Noah's Ark with animals, but the animals were all Australian animals. There were koalas and kangaroos and sheep and other animals too. I emailed the seller asking if she still had the pattern so I could buy it from her. She responded and said that she had seen the finished piece at a garage sale so she didn't have the pattern. I have searched and searched online but have had no luck. My dad is Australian and I would LOVE to be able to do this piece for him. Has anyone seen it before or have the pattern or know where I can track it down?

I will sit here with my fingers crossed :)

Thank you so much kirstyc for looking but this is not the one I was looking for. The one I saw was smaller and didn't have a lot of bright colors. They were mostly browns and beiges and light greens from what I remember. Earthy colors I guess would be the best way to describe it.

Lisa, thanks for answering. I don't have a picture of the actual finished piece. It was about 2 months ago and I don't remember who the seller was or anything like that. I realize that there is a 0.00001% chance that I will be able to get an answer but it's worth a shot.

Jaki, thank you for taking the time to look as well. Sadly, that's not it either. I think it may be an older design because the lady who I emailed said she got it from an old ladies garage sale.

The one I saw was smaller, was almost a head on look of the Ark with the ramp coming down on the left side. There were koalas and kangaroos and sheep all in line to climb aboard. I am kicking myself now that I didn't get a screen shot of the finished piece. I also maybe should have bought the finished piece and worked off it. It would have been hard to match colors though I think. Who knows. Grrrr, if only I could go back in time. :doh:
