MOO-ston Cow Quilt Exhibit

 The Exhibit that made me laugh

the most at IQF/Houston

was

MOO-ston

a Cow Parade of Quilts.

 Friends and students of 

Mary Lou Weidman

created

"Bovine-Inspired" themes

of her Purple Cow pattern.

Each one was unique and hilarious.

Who would have thought you could dress up

a cow in so many ways?

 BOO-MOO

by Molly Evangelisti

captured Halloween

 Right down to the 

witchy shoes

 pumpkin cow udders

and spider webs

 The Purple Cow pattern

is found in the book

Out Of The Box

with Easy Blocks

by Mary Lou Weidman and Melanie McFarland

This was the kind of exhibit

where the viewers were

allowed to be noisy.

 There were rows upon rows of 

Whimsical Cows

Bovine Intervention....Cow Pie

they all brought a chuckle.

 Moody Blues

by Laurie Latta

 My personal favorite

COWmen Miranda

by Sue Cresse

With a flamboyant

tutti-frutti hat

 and jeweled leggings.

I almost had to hold myself

back from dancing samba in the aisles.

Mary Lou even recreated

a version of Purple Cow.
