Cow Pattern by Mary Lou Weidman and Copyright

Carol Heauter from Arigona my sweet friend made this cow from Mary Lou's pattern. Isn't he cute or should I say she?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cow pattern is copyrighted and not to be copied off of my original pattern.You may certainly use the pattern you paid for but you cannot make copies of it to pass along. This is stealing and the same as shop lifting. For some reason quilters think it is ok to copy off any pattern they want and ignore copyright rules. I do not understand this. Copyright means it cannot be copied and if you are an honest person you should not do this nor should you hand our your patterns to be copied.
I spent many many hours designing this and then spent the money to print it etc. I need to make enough money to pay back my time and my investment. If you designed something you would feel the same way.   Please support the people who work hard to make a living making patterns.

THIS beautiful and clever quilt is by Rebecca Shafer. This quilt has great embellishments and fabric choices. Rebecca is from Lincoln, Nebraska. Rebecca makes many clever and original quilts.

The quilt above is by Terry Jones (I believe)

The quilt above is by Sandy Fisher who also has so many original ideas and she has two cow quilts in the collection that we call "the Herd."

The cow below is one of my most favotites and is by Sue Cresse who is very original and creative.

If you have not ever done your own designing this cow pattern is the perfect place to start and it has many ideas included for cow themes.

The Moose pattern does as well.

Chicken Souo finally reprinted and available for sale. Really a fun pattern for all who love the whimsy of Chickens!!

The COW pattern. The cow pattern is in two sizes so you can do it medium or large. This cover cow was a smaller one we did and we adjusted the legs to be thinner. This is the pattern everyone uses for the Ciw challenge. The pattern includes many theme ideas. As most of you know this is a great challenge pattern for guilds and Quilting Bees.

My motto is you can make your own happiness and if you want to live longer and better it's a great philosophy!

Diane Cowell made this wonderful

4th of July quilt from my cow pattern. Quite fun, right? I love it!!!

I went to the Coeur D'Alene quilters show and one of my favorite quilt shops was there. Island Quiktercfrom Vashon Island had loads of bright and happy fabrics and since Iam working on a chicken book I grabbed fabric that looks led like feathers and had good texture. Really fun! By the way Island Quilter is open again  in a new building!

My backyard changes from day to day. I get so much peace there and new ideas for happy quilts. It's a nice place to pray for friends who are ill or just come to mind. I am blessed.

My daughters birthday was this week and the same day I got done with my radiation for Breast cancer! Hooray. Now I have the rest of the summer to heal and then I am off to places to teach creativity, easy piecing and story quilts! 

My daughter and I went out for manicures, pedicures and lunch. A lovely day together!

I hope the summer is bringing blessings your way too. Pay it forward and be a blessing to someone who needs it today.
