Memory Lane. . .

. . . and I took a walk down mine.


A few years ago my quilting girlfriends, (aka - the sistahs) got together and started a long term practical joke on me...it revolved around a cow theme.  It started anonymously and sort of snowballed out of control.  Since, I have recieved countless cow themed items delivered to me in the most unusual ways.  Somewhere along the lane I acquired the cow face pattern titled 'Cow' by Malec Designs. 
 The pattern is of the cow face only and I customized her a little and added the background. 

I named her Memory and the quilt is called Memory Lane.
 A tribute to my silly quilting sistahs who inspire me more than they know.

I started Memory Lane just the other day and I'm finishing just under the wire.  I would have posted a little earlier today but couldn't get to CVS until after the boy's baseball tonight ....  Memory needed her eye lashes before posting.

I tried some different techniques with fusing so I guess this was sort of an experiment of methods.  Some I liked and some I didn't. In the next few days I will post to my blog on how I did the fusing.
