I have made this little Wee Wonderfuls elephant a total of 5 times now and will probably make it at least 5 more. Everyone loves it and requests one, so it is my go to gift for children's birthdays. This one was made for my girlfriend Jessica's 10 year old daughter, Samantha. Samantha shares a birthday with Sophia and was actually present at Sophia's birth. She is such a sweet girl and she LOVES chickens! LOL She recently lost all of her pet chickens to a raccoon, unfortunately : ( When I saw this Alexander Henry fabric, I knew I had to use it to make her elephant. The fabulous aqua buttons are vintage, I just love that color!
Poor Samuel, begs me to make him one everytime he sees me whipping up one for someone else. He just asked me a few minutes ago when I was going to make his. I guess I need to do that today. And I might as well cut out one for Ava, because you can put money on it, she will want one the minute she sees Sam's lol I rarely make patterns twice, but I really enjoy this one. I think I am going to purchase her new book, so many cute gifts, so little time!

It is adorable!
But...isn't this Joelle Hoverson's pattern? I probably just have my elephants mixed up!!!
Either way, it looks great, and I would want one!!
Thank you, Tine : D It is in Joelle Hoverson's book Last Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts, but Hilary Lang from Wee Wonderfuls is the designer. So, you do have your book right!
I have that pattern, and have never tried it. Maybe I should soon b/c yours turned out super cute!
So cute - and her new book is just amazing...so many cute projects...I haven't made anything out of it yet - need to get on that!

Mandy, we can make one for Amelia, if you want. I can help you with the body if you would like. Lots of practice with curves in this one ; )
