I’ve been busily packaging up the holiday orders from the shop (thank you to my lovely buyers!),
making presents to mail to family far away, like my lovely aunt (who doesn’t read this blog)
and seeing pink elephants!
That wee elephant, from Hillary Lang’s pattern in Last Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts, is a birthday present for a little lady I know who is turning 2 years old shortly. I used a piece of glazed cotton that originally came from a shower curtain my mother made years ago. I like using home decor fabric for softies and other unexpected things (like jackets or skirts), and I feel like this petite pachiderm belongs in a wisteria-festooned gazebo at a garden party!
