I bought a stashbuster book for ideas to use up fabric BUT could not resist making this from the book. Of course I had to buy suitable greens, and then I found stone wall look fabric for a border on the internet, waiting for.
So defeated the objective really - but I think this will make a nice hanging for one of the bedroom walls, do you think? I will post when its finished.

Stunning! Makes me want to applique because this has turned out so nice. But I"m a sheep lover anyway. Grew up on a farm and I raised about a gazillion doggie lambs on the bottle!

Those are so cute.

How lovely is that? I think its great, what was the book called you bought for the pattern please
Katherine

OH, that is too cute!
I have a friend in Australia that has a sheep farm. Would LOVE to make a quilt with those cute little sheep on it for her.
What book is it???

The book is Lynne Edwards' Stash-Buster Quilts. The pattern for the sheep is given full size, so no enlarging to do.

It's a smile maker--it just doesn't get any cuter than that! :D I had twin boys in my class last year--sons of a sheep farmer--boy would that fit in their house!! :wink:

How did you do the legs?

Black fabric, HeatnBond lite, then blanket stitched as the rest. I cut only the outline of the HeatnBond for the bigger parts so the sheep are not stiff.
My border fabric of the stonewalling arrived today, so I doing that now.

That is just too cute, I love it!

Now that is cute!! :lol:

I bookmarked the site so I can put it on my list of to-dos for Christmas gifts. It is just too cute!!

That is so darling!

I like that very much, very different, Elle

I have a friend who collects sheep--little figureines and stuff like that. She would LOVE this quilt! It's going on my to-do list!

That is sooooo cute. I love it!

That is adorable! You do such nice work! I have that book! Did you hand stitch the blanket stitch? It looks perfect!

Yes, hand stitched while watching the Wimbledon tennis last week!

Cute, cute, and cute!!! Great job, especially on the hand stitching :wink:

That is so cute. Was there one of cows in the book. Beautiful hand stitching.

Beachlady, no cows, but go to www.fatcatpatterns.com, and in the LH column check Toddlers, there is a cow quilt called Mimi.
There are some lovely free patterns here - already planning a few myself.

That is just absolutely adorable Katrine!!!! Love it!!!

Thank you Katrine, Mimi the cow is cute. I also saw quite a few I would like to do. Add to my ever growing list.

Thanks again.

How cute is that? What an awesome job!

Update....
I went to the wonderful site....fatcatpatterns and downloaded all her free fish patterns...being a scuba diver, I love anything fishy...hehe...
then I showed the pic of the sheep quilt to the husband and he loves it (being his last name is Lamb, thinks the fish are cool too since he dives as well) Got 2 fish blocks done..
So..I had to go to Amazon.com and order the book (for 6.89+shipping)
Meanwhile, while I was working on the fishy patterns, he came into the sewing room and saw all my fabric strewn about and we had to go get some shelves for it and take it outta the totes...HAHA....then I had to organize the fabric which after ward I wanted to show the DH the neat fabric piles, hence I said, there is something wrong with the shelves...he looked at me distressed and and said What!!! I said the shelves are NOT FULL OF FABRIC...!!!!!
He said work on it!!!!
You Betcha I will!!!
See what havoc we create when we post a new project/site...my my
K

Years ago I read a book to my children "Beep Beep, too Many Sheep."

This is a cute theme wall hanging !! or, childs quilt.. what are you going to do with it?

I love the texture from the print of the fabric. It makes the sheep look so fluffy!

Thinking a wall hanging for a bedroom ...
