My Mom and my Aunt Nancy are quilters. They have a business where they sell ready made quilts and designs for quilters to make their own quilts. Mostly they do craft and quilting shows in New England and some in Florida… but that’s not what I came here to talk about.
My Aunt Nancy mad eme a quilt. She was upset that the business wasn’t going to be named the Argyle Cow (Nancy, Argyle is spelled with a “Y”). Nancy wanted to make sure the cow was around in some aspect… The quilt:
Once the sign finds a good flat spot, instead of a wiggly 6 year old, I’ll take another better picture.
THANK YOU AUNT NANCY, it’s very cool!

That’s awesome, Amy!

Way cool! Your family is incredibly talented!

That’s really awesome.
You know, in the past year (thanks to the internets) I’ve really noticed for the first time that quilts can be really interesting looking. Which makes me want to learn how. Which, just what I need– another craft I love but don’t have enough time for.

Seriously, that’s about the coolest thing ever. Wow.
March 16th, 2007 at 8:01 am
Hee. That’s the cutest thing. I’m sure lots of little children, if they see that will ask what kind of milk the cow would give with a big Argyle stripe on it. Mine would.

wow.. you know your whole family rocks.
That sign is just AWESOME. (and I love the idea of what kind of milk the cow would give. Makes me laugh my socks off.)
March 16th, 2007 at 8:07 am
That is really awesome!
March 16th, 2007 at 8:09 am
That is so awesome! It will give the customers something (else) to ask about!

You know I can quit but can’t spell alittle 6 year old spelled it my spelling would have been really bad glad you liked it
March 16th, 2007 at 8:48 am
I love it!
March 16th, 2007 at 9:11 am
Very cool.
And good thing it’s a cow and not a bull or steer–he’d get his poor stomach garter wet.
Perhaps I have not had enough sleep…….

I am in LOVE with this quilt!!! I’ve had a “Cow” kitchen for 10 years and even though I’m slightly getting away from it a bit, I still love cows. That is the best thing I’ve ever seen with a cow on it! Horray for your aunt!!!
March 16th, 2007 at 9:53 am
An argyle belted galoway cow! This is so awesome!!
March 16th, 2007 at 9:58 am
Nice! It will become the identifying thing in your store for people who can’t remember the name “I went to the fiber store today. You know, the one with the cow.”
March 16th, 2007 at 9:58 am
Oh, that is beautiful, Amy!! I wonder if your aunt would let you put that on t-shirts or other things.
March 16th, 2007 at 10:38 am
Very nice! What a talented family.
March 16th, 2007 at 10:50 am
That’s so neat! Quilting is amazing to me. Something else I should learn.
March 16th, 2007 at 11:53 am
Gorgeous! What a talented and generous aunt you have. I would love a picture that clicks to be big. It looks like there is a lot of great detail in that quilt.
March 16th, 2007 at 12:26 pm
VERY cool, especially since I’ve always wanted to learn quilting!
March 16th, 2007 at 2:12 pm
The quilt ROCKS.
But I was trying to recommend your pottery to a friend and none of the pottery links work anymore ??? Are you no longer throwing/potting/pottery-ing?
March 16th, 2007 at 3:57 pm
It’s perfect! Simply perfect!
March 17th, 2007 at 11:55 am
I think I am in love with your aunt. Who wouldn’t be with a woman who quilts an argyle cow. That is really very cool, it’s obvious where your artisticness comes from. Well at least it seems obvious.
March 20th, 2007 at 12:04 am
Love love love it!!! Your Aunt Nancy rocks!!
March 20th, 2007 at 10:19 am
That’s an amazing quilt and I love the Argyle Cow…hmm, maybe you can get a flag with the same design to have on the outside of your store….
