Crafty Mamas April pin cushion swap
Now that my pachyderm is safely wrapped and winging her way to the Netherlands,
to a recipient who doesn't lurk around here,
I thought it safe to show what transpired from my Toledo map readings.
She is a vintage elephant
(though in retrospect for a pin cushion a thicker, denser quilting cotton may have been a better choice)
and is certainly not perfect
(matching up all those little fiddly gussett seams got the better of me)
but I hope that the recipient finds her charming...
...and useful!
Pattern: Heather Bailey effie and ollie elephant
Fabrics: vintage cotton and chenille from stash
Cute factor: 5 star

and...I'm the lucky receiver of this little cuteness (thank you!) and to top all it I just love the little green heart leaves perfectly between her eyes! Did you really have that eye for detail? I'm really happy with her, thanx a million
Glad that you like her Mon and that she had a safe journey over to your side of the world! No, the heart was just coincidental! She must be blessed :)
