If you love quilts... and love cows.... OR

Somehow boy cows in particular strike me as being startlingly
appropriate for DC.
Particularly if they are posed with a shovel near their backsides.

Yes, I remember the pigs in Cincinnati! Maybe I was living there at the
time. Or visiting family.

There were cows in Washington, DC one year. Wonder what that was about. . .

It is becoming quite a popular thing.
The first I ever heard of it was the pigs in Cinncinati.
There are moose in Toronto, buffalo in Buffalo, fish in Erie PA and so
on. Our Ash's pediatrician's office bought one of Buffalo's buffalo.
They have it in their airlock.

St. Paul, MN, (Charles Shulz' home town) had Peanuts characters a few
years ago. We saw cows in New Glarus, WI, a few years ago. My favorite,
though, was in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 2001. They used statues of the
couple from the American Gothic painting, because Grant Wood lived and
worked in that area. Cedar Rapids is actually quite a nice little city
in which to spend a couple days. They have an art museum with a large
collection of Grant Wood's work and a wonderful Czech-Slovak history
museum. They are also near the Amana colonies.

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.

Best of luck with the clean-out, Kathyl! I don't envy you, since I know
very well that we have a major clean-out coming up in the future. MIL
has just turned 88, and she refuses to organize any of the photos or
mementos in her home. She says she'll just leave it for us after she's
gone. Ack!

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

The Washington Coast also has pelicans (Gray Pelicans). Don't know how far
north they range. They are so magnificent!

they have regular pelicans too. But these are big painted ones done by local
artists all around downtown Pensacola. They made small figurines of the big
ones and are selling those.
