Hi

Every year in the winter Anchorage chooses 30 or so people that they give
fiberglass salmon to, to be decorated. They are then placed around town and
at the end of summer are auctioned off for charity. Many years there has
been one that seems to have a quilty theme to it. If memory serves me
right, something like this is done in or near the Gatlinburg area. It might
have been somewhere else but they used Bears I think.

This summer in Bath we are playing find the pig! 100 decorated pigs
are spread round the city and neighbouring area. I've not found a
patchwork one yet!

Well, Megwen, if it is an annual event, perhaps you should visit the
scupltors' workshop and bear with you a suggested patchwork pattern for
next year - like the Texan cow!

There was a lot of problems with plaaning permissions to get these
pigs out this year. I 'm not sure that it will happen again, but I'll
find a pattern and suggest it next year if they do!

PS Pobably pick one of your mathematical designs!

steve....Are the decorated salmon already on display? I've seen
decorated horses in Saratoga Springs NY...pigs in Brandon VT as well
as rocking chairs and also in Vermont large artist's palettes a couple of
years ago.
I remember a few of those were on display at a quilt show there.
I ask because I'm going to be in Anchorage soon and would be looking
for them ! Thanks, Mary

Oh, I saw a few of those a couple years ago! I didn't realize it was a
changing exhibit every year. Cool.

In Norfolk, Virginia, the theme is/was Mermaids. That was a few years ago
..... I don't know how many are still on display.

Many, many places have done painted cows (& other critters),
including Cow Parade, an international project:

Austin put a great spin on it:
