Work In Progress Wednesday will show you that I've had a busy and creative week.
First there is the
Elephant Toy
mentioned in last week's WIPW post.
Ever since I first saw the design by Hillary Lang, in Joelle Hoverson's 'Last Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts' I have wanted to make this charming stuffed toy.
Alas, although I followed the instructions to a T, my elephant looks a bit chubbier and the trunk seems shorter than the elephant pictured in the book, so I am a little bit disappointed. My animal is charming, I will give you that, but I will try the design again and hope for a better result.
Coasters
The same book inspired me to make five simple coasters, and here I am very pleased with the result.
Some more floral embroidery in metallic thread was added to the cushion.

The elephant is cute! The coasters will be a great gift and very useful. The cards are sweet and you have really done a lot on the cushion and sampler. Great progress this week!
A productive few days. The elephant looks a complete poppet, and any slight differences will just add to his charm!
Wow you have been productive! Cute elephant, it will be loved. And good finish on your coasters and greeting cards! I like the metallic thread addition on the Velveteen Cushion and good use of filling stitches on your sampler.
You've been busy!
You do a polite work even when you are busy.And very productive.
I like the printed pattern of the elephant’s ears and the tail.🐘
You have been very busy, love the cute elephant.
You have so many projects that have turned out beautifully. I will have to go hunting for an elephant pattern! That is adorable!
There is so many pieces here! All look great and I like that cushion.
I am impressed with all your stitching projects! I love that little elephant!
