Cocoa Cow-nell

pattern is from Piecemeal Quilts
Sometimes the boys call her Hot Chocolate!
Cocoa is a fun loving girl, loves sweets  pink lipstick, and hexies.
I can relate!!
The color at the RSC2015  this month is brown, so I had to do a brown cow. How now, brown cow!
A BROWN cow??! Ridiculous!
She came from this...

brown scrap box.

It used to close

someone needs to use up some brown scraps around here. Well dishes and flamingos to go... I don't know if I can cope with a brown flamingo...





I wanted to use these pretties but they weren't the right shades
Anyway, back to Cocoa... the best little chocolate milk producer in the herd...
 She has her eye on you... are you eating chocolate??? 
I have chosen florals or plant like prints for each cow, but had to use those hexies heh heh. 
Oh! She wanted me to point out, her lipstick looks like a shade of Chanel but it's "Mo0ove over" from her own line,  "Cow-nell" (not available in stores)

Too funny. Cocoa looks like quite a saucy lady. Those pink lips look fabulous.

Who doesn't love chocolate? Your Cocoa is adorable!

Mary in Boulder said...

Inspired use of hexies! Your herd of cows certainly have personality.

Unknown said...

Love that cow!!! In would love a brown flamingo too!

Kathy's A Quilter said...

Pucker up baby, there's a new producer on the farm!!

Sally Trude said...

Cutie brown cow. And maybe the flamingo can be brown and pink (a great combo) as if the flamingo had been rolling in the mud.

Cathy said...

Nothing, NOTHING better than a brown cow. Jerseys are so sweet and give the best milk. :-) And no brown cow is better than Cocoa! Woot!

Ann said...

Love your cows and their backstories! You have such outrageously clever plots and details.

Tinliz said...

All of your cows have been adorable.

MissPat said...

Love Cocoa with her Cow-nell lipstick. I think you should use the brown fabric on the far right with the purple star bursts for the one of the flamingos . It would make her sparkle.

PaulaB quilts said...

One question, does she also give my favorite flavor, moo-cha? Of course she does milk chocolate, I assume. When will her fashion line be ready? Can hardly wait to see what she does, maybe sable brown capes for the flamingos. She is definitely HOT.

Sara said...

Love her pink nose! So one brown cow in the herd of colorful ones . . . maybe she is the boss cow.

Deb A said...

You are too funny! So glad a brown cow has been added to the collection.

Tu-Na Quilts said...

Edith said...

She's a beauty.

Sheila said...

LOVE your brown cow! When I saw her picture I immediately thought of How Now Brown Cow! She is a beauty. Beautiful brown prints in your stash, too. Love your post.

Sew Surprising said...

gayle said...

Reading your cows' bios is almost as much fun as looking at them. I admire both!
I love Miss Cocoa, and now I'll look forward to your other brown goodies. 8)

I am so in love with Coco Cow-nel. I don't quilt or paper piece but I do love how clever and creative Coco is. Your choice of brown fabrics is perfect. And...her lipstick is such a hoot! Creative Coco Bliss...

Janine @ Rainbow Hare said...

She is beautiful :)

Beth @ Cooking Up Quilts said...

These cows of yours just kill me - they are so dang adorable! Your herd is growing and each one is cuter than the last one. Cocoa is perfect with her adorable pink lips. Such a beauty! Thanks for linking up to MCM!

Laney said...

Love your brown cow - and her story!

JanineMarie said...

I love the twinkle in her eyes. For some reason I hadn't noticed that on your other cows. So of course I had to go and look back at all of them. Is that part of the fabric or did you add it somehow?

Esther Aliu said...

Fabulous as always, what a cutey

LA Paylor said...

oooohhh a detail person! How fun!
Yep, I put a dot of white gel pen in her eyes this time to sparkle...
