That's right, this is not Curt. It's AnnaBelle his cousin. hehe Sorry, I know this isn't a teapot quilt, but AnnaBelle stopped by with her Curt necklace on and what could I say......Confused go herefor the real story.......my card.....
Do you know how hard it is to put 42,000 stitches on a card? Well let me tell you it's hard! BUT, I did it. So bite me Aquilta. hehe
AnnaBelle here was made out of some already sewed together scraps. I made a template using a quilted cow in a frame my Sister sent me a loooooong time ago. This was padded and put on cs. I actually did "hand" stitches. I don't do "hand" stitches well. I am a sewing machine girl through and through. But, due to time and feeling way stressed today, another story, I just quickly put these stitches on.
The necklace is from Curt's collection only AnnaBelle thought it needed a little more piazza. So she added the gingham bow made with the easy bow maker. Was kinda hard with those big hoofs of her's. hehe Her tail is made by/with jute.
Well, not my normal crazy teapot card, because this one is actually going somewhere special. Hope Lindsay likes it.......TFL :0)
Hi Sis! Moooooooo!

Oh, isn't Annabelle sweet all decked out in her flannel nightgown! The bow on her beads is the piece de resistance. Kudos for all the hand-stitching on this one too.

Tee hee, trust you to manage to fit another cow into the *tail* this week. I think her jute tail is simply wonderful - and so is her lovely checked hide. Take a look at all those stitches - you did good with your real and faux stitches. Are you at the party really early today, or am I very late??

Ah Ha! I knew Curt would bring Lindsay a necklace! I would have been so disappointed had he not sent one along with AnnaBelle! Is AnnaBelle visiting from say, like Siberia? Cuz she looks so warm and cozy in wool attire! And to tell you the truth, its cold still in Colorado so she will be perfectly dressed for her trip here!
You kill me.....I so love this great looking card. I just rocks....so precious! Lindsay is in for a huge treat!
Don't tell Bertie I told you this cuz she told me to keep it a secret but she told me that you can't count! She said you made a mistake counting the stitches on my card....so, this is me telling you this cuz she told me not to! Snort!
Hi Sis! Whatcha think about the rock slide? Yikes! Good thing we were SCSing yesterday instead of driving up the mountain! Hugs....
