What farm would not be complete without a cow. Well this little prim Santa decided to hitch a ride on this cow's back. When I stitched her, I thought about the 1997 animated Christmas movie "Annabelle's Wish" which was about a young calf that dreamed of being a reindeer. My girls loved that movie when they were young. So this ornament brings back some fond memories.
Now this is a very small ornament. I stitched mine on 14 count aida which brings the finished size of the stitch to about 2 1/4" square. I actually stitched 2 of these in a day so they whip up fast.
One was on coffee/tea dyed aida and the other was on Emerald Green Rit dyed 14 count aida.
I mounted mine one layer of thick cardstock board and one layer of foam board wrapped with old homespun. The bow was created from ribbon from the Dollar General which I love. I also used ripped homespun and jute twine from the Dollar Tree to create cording for each of the ornaments.
If you didn't see last week's ornament, Chicken Sled, I hope you check it out and maybe consider stitching it too. Also I would love to see your stitch so if you post on Instagram , tag me and use #pinkernpunkinquilting
As always,
Happy Stitching, ya'll.

Thank you so much, Jenny. Lol I do like color. The foyer is one of my favorite little areas to decorate. I think because I can put up the quilts. And you are so welcome on the freebies. I sure do enjoy making them . I hope you enjoy them.
DeleteBoth are darling! Well done, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteHey, Robin. I so appreciate it. Hubby likes them on tea dyed and I keep going back on forth on whether I like the ornaments on tea dyed or green fabric. Lol. I can not wait to get them all done and then focus on what else to put on the tree come Christmas.
