    Hee hee you guys are funny. Ok so I got my wall hanging from Rhonda's 3rd wall hanging swap from that AWESOME swap angel, Ube Quilting!!! !!! I honestly did not know whether to laugh because it was so cute, or cry because it was so thoughtful!! (so I did both....)
    So if you recall, she gave out some sneaky hints - lots of feathers, lots of dots, and a haiku. Here are some pictures of the hanging AND a goodie (which I am selfishly keeping!!!!). The first picture is the goodie, the other 3 are of the wall hanging.

    Ube, I am doing a 'jaba' and sending you a thank you in tomorrow's mail! Thrilled is definitely an understatement - thank you SO MUCH!!!!

    That is too cute and the peace sign embroidered right in the middle of the quilt is so light hearted too.. I remember having to write a poem like that in like 4th grade.. hated it because it did not rhyme! yours somehow captures the spirit I would have related to much better. and so eloquently written! spell check!

    I wanted to show a couple quilts I found on the internet which are very inspirational to me. I love cows. what a dork right? who cares! I think I might try the b/w cow quilt first.. [ATTACH=CONFIG]429404[/ATTACH]

    Here is a more serious but fun colored cow that also says make me![ATTACH=CONFIG]429405[/ATTACH] ps if there was a designer for these I did not find a name I am sorry for that. They are NOT my designs just pictures that were of cow quilts .. I am simply going to attempt a vague interpretation of them. I need to. I have this cow picture in the dining room that also is inspiration of a cow with a cat and a snake on his back wearing a sombrero. Very serious and all. just like me

    Elisabrat, those are cool. I am also a a believer in bovine beauty. Also working on a WH featuring one. A funky animal swap would be fun. Have to think about it for a future swap.
    peace

    Have you ever seen Susan Carlson's work? If you like funky animals, she is the one to follow for inspiration.
    Look for the book: Serendipity Quilts. Wow!

    I love the cows! The black and white one is really neat the way it was designed. I grew up with cows and hogs for playmates so it brings back memories. My aunt was afraid of the cows and I could never understand that. I wouldn't want to be stepped on by one but other than that they are gentle creatures.
