Here’s Thursday Schedule for the Appliqued Animals Blog Hop

Thursday April 25th

Beaquilter (Summer Animals)

Janesquilting (Critters and Bugs)

Seamstobesew (Summer Stuff)

Today I’m showing you a summer animal.

I had this idea for a cow! I mean what’s more summer than the smell of cows, no just kidding!

I started with some basic ovals for the head and mouth (what’s that called on a cow again?) and then a curve at the bottom and a line connecting the sides.

I like the “funky” shapes on the side bar, one is a tear drop so I used that for the horns, then another is a wedge shape that was great for the ears

Here’s the basic face of a cow

Of course I had to add some eyes too.

  4. Okay, I confess, I always think of cows as summer animals. In the summer I see them in the fields much more than in the winter where they obviously hide and huddle together.

    I love cows, we raised them on our farm. Sometimes I miss that, but driving around and seeing them in pastures gives me the great feeling I get from them. They are beautiful majestic animals. Love to win a copy of this software so I can create my own designs. Thanks for the review and giveaway.ncjeepster@aol.com
