The darling Highland Cow was made by Reneta. Reneta is a pattern tester for Art East Quilt Company, and this is one of their latest releases called "Cattle Call."
I quilt a lot of quilts for Reneta and every once in awhile she like to challenge my creativity. (Check out song lyrics, martini glasses, mice and glass slippers, butterflies, a world map....). This time she suggested that we amp up the Sottish flair of this quilt and give "Angus the Cow" a Scottish Thistle.
I found a great tutorial at Lori Kennedy quilts for a thistle, so I didn't have to think about how to do it, and I think it worked out perfectly.

The wavy lines were quilted across the whole quilt first in So Fine thread, and the thistle was added last with a slightly heavier and shinier Magnifico thread.
Is this not one of the cutest quilts you have seen in awhile??
He just needs a name , love that thistle.Perfect addition for the Highland fellow.And what a great tutorial to see how it develops stitch by stitch.
