Legs and a Goat
Bossy now has real legs and I figured out how to put her udder behind her leg. It took a couple of stitches by hand but they are invisible.
Mr. Goat is going well but I ran out of time today so he will have to get his legs put on tomorrow.
I still have in mind to do a horse and a sheep. The horse will probably be a bay with a black mane and tail. For the sheep I will look among my polar fleece fabrics to see if I still have a bit of white. I know it's not quilting fabric but it looks so sheepish. I might applique the sheep so I don't have to piece the fleece. It would be horrible to piece because it's so stretchy, unless I iron on some interfacing. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I'd add some chickens but they woud have to be so tiny to be anywhere near the scale of these animals.
Probably the biggest challenge will be how to fit all these odd pieces together into some kind of cohesive whole.

Your sense of whimsey comes through loud and clear in your work. These animals make me smile.
It's looking so cute!
What a great idea, and so funny. I love your little people as well. The different animals surely demand for unusual solutions. I will come back to check what you came out with. Take care.
Nellie is right, these animals are cheerful.
I'm going to fall in love with this farm.
Ooohhh, I just love that goat. When I was little I had 2 Nubian goats that I loved dearly - and they loved to sit on the hoods of the family cars. I never realized how country we were until I got a really nice car and then was always worried about dogs jumping up to say "hi", let alone goats sitting on the hood! Anyway, seeing your goat immediately made me think of my childhood goats!
Cheers!

Oh Joyce, the goat is such fun. It is all looking good.
I can see some Baaaaaa'd jokes coming if you make a sheep to go with the cow, pig, and goat. :)
They all look good, though!
That goat is unbelievable! Great job!
these are just delightful Joyce, you're a piecing machine!
I can't wait to see how these lovely guys come together.
Joyce - I LOVE your animals - keep this up and you'll have a veriable Noah's Ark! Thanks for putting me on your list of thinking bloggers
Your goat is marvelous and I love the horns. Scale, who cares about scale? Just have fun and make godzilla chickens.
