Animals All Over
My daughter has had an imaginary mouse for a long time. Now her big brother would keep saying: "But there IS NO MOUSE!" So I had to make her one. And one for her brother. And he insisted on lots of cheese!
Then my Mom called me one day and asked, if I could make a present for one of her friends, who just had a baby girl. As I was in the making of the giraffe pattern, I told her she could get one of those. She gladly agreed.
Now I couldn't just make a giraffe and not an elephant, could I?
(The wonderful fabric is from a swap I did way back with Rosa.)
loooove the cheese. It's holey! :)
And the shapes of your giraffe and elephant are so great! so much personality.

I love your animals (and your blog, of course). I have a 70s pattern for very fat mice, but I haven't tried it yet. Your pictures are inspiring.

You are so creative and can surely churn those animals out! I love the fabric choices in all of them - but especially the elephant!

Very sweet giraffe and elephant patterns. Great for a baby - they look so cuddly. I love how the elephant's trunk hits the ground just a like a real elephant's does.
