raspberry parfait

Ahhhh Raspberry Parfait is this month's cow. The color is Lime green over at So Scrappy but my "green" cow was already lime plus grass green. I made an executive decision to use red violet...
and just for some sparkle... red violet sparkly glittery fabric for her face. Who doesn't want to sparkle???
Raspberry Parfait is a girl who loves to sparkle. She wants to stand out and vibrates at a lovely rate.
When she was a little calf she thought of becoming a dancer (hoofer) on Broadway...
but alas she had two left feet.
Then she thought about becoming a hoof reader,or a hypnotist, look deep into my eyes, she says....
Her ears were full of stars and moons, and she thought great thoughts. She sang beautifully or so the local bulls said, and she often took the bulls by the horns!
 She loved long walks in the paddock and yearned for imported alfalfa.
She considered getting a tatoo.
She was that kind of girl, one who wanted to experience all life had to offer.
She never left the farm, but she still sparkles.

When you put the cow quilt together you'll need to somehow include the wonderful character sketches you've written for each of them!

How cute is that! I would stop for sure to see her in the field.

gayle said...

I always look forward to your cows and their bios. I agree with Mary in Maryland - you should work their stories into the quilt somehow!
This one is my favorite. (I know I say that about every one of them. It's all true!)

Ann said...

You have created a colorful, beautiful cowdiva! When will you be getting the ladies together?

She's absolutely perfect! I can't wait to see how you assemble your dairy queens in a setting suitable for their sophistication.

I am having huge trouble waiting to see your cows all together in a quilt and this raspberry one is gorgeous!

Deb A said...

Great decision. She is lovely and will be happy to join the other ladies in the herd.

Zenia Rene said...

I totally love raspberry parfait!

Cathy said...

Leaving the farm is highly overrated! Red violet was an excellent choice.

Sally Trude said...

Wonderful choice given cows are red/green colorblind.

Claire said...

Nice chuckle over morning coffee. Yes, forget the directions and do what the quilt needs. Claire aka knitnkwilt.wordpress.com

dropped by to say "hi" from Linky Tuesday, I always love seeing your cows and what the latest colour is - this one is a particular favourite. How many more are you making - will they all be in one quilt when you're done? - Chris @madebyChrissieD :D
