Is this little guy sweet or what? I'm in the process of getting him listed in my shop and I decided to also offer the elephant image as a free embroidery pattern. This is my first time trying this so if you click the link and it does not work - please help a girl out and let me know - thanks!This is all I have to show for this crazy week. Peter had his tonsils and adenoids removed Thursday so I have been playing Florence Nightingale (doling out ice cream) and Nurse Rachet (forcing the meds.) He's doing great now though - our biggest problem is trying to keep him down.
Luckily our day-long hospital stay meant a sizable chunk of embroidery and reading time for me. I hate to admit how nice it was but ... it was pretty great!
As I was enjoying both of those things I had an idea for a really fun project of epic proportions that I will, in reality, never do but it's fun to think about. Ready? I was reading "Life of Pi" - yes I know everyone and their dog read this like, 5 years ago - I'm a little behind the literary times. Anyway I was thinking how much fun it would be to embroider one of the scenes from that book (like Pi and the tiger catching flying fish for example). Then how about embroidering great scenes from all your favorite books and making them into one big 'ol quilt? Oh wouldn't it be beautiful? Talk about cuddling up with a good book(s). I suppose it's my love for illustration, embroidery, books, and quilts all rolled up into one big project. *sigh* Maybe one day....
What's your dream project?

This is LOVELY. And I'm wondering when you're going to start _selling_ embroidery patterns in your shop. You gotta do that.
I love your pattern, and what you did with it is adorable! You should definately come up with some more!
Thank you so much for sharing this sweetness with all of us!!!!it is so lovely and generous!thanks again!
Thank you for the pretty pattern! He's definitely going on my 'to embroider' list!
Oh, wow! I keep saying on my blog how I have a serious pattern hoarding problem and I am trying to cut back but you just made me fall off the wagon. This is so cute! Thank you so much for sharing your elephant pattern with us! I love how you finished him too. My dream project is to make an apron for myself but I don't machine sew (yet) so it may never get made. But that's ok because I have enough embroidery patterns to kep me busy until I'm 110.
What a beautiful elephant - I'll give it a try, but am afraid I will probably not do it justice.
I also love the quilt idea; I had a quilt in my room when I was a child of scenes from the most famous childrens books and when I was older I went and read them all.
Thanks for the free pattern, it's adorable!
thanks so much! so cute! Can't wait to make this for a friend for a baby shower gift.

I love the elephant! I am teaching women in Nicaragua to do redwork so that they can sell quilt blocks to US quilters who don't embroider. It helps them keep their children fed and in school. Would you allow us to use this elephant as one of the designs we sell? You would, of course be credited. (This is very small scale.)
Oh so sweet, I adore it! Thank you!
Thank you for a very cute stitchery...

I have been browsing your designs and think they are absolutely adorable! I am working on some "herb" designs to go with a quilt. I would like to create a pattern for them both (I am so new to this though!). Can you tell me what type of program you use to create your patterns? I am learn Adobe Illustrator, but not proficient enough yet. Would love to know your "process". Thanks so much!
I love your elephant pattern and have been planning to do for a long time. Done it now; it was a gift for a neighbor who helped me a while ago, but when my daughter saw the pillows I made, she kept them... http://piecesandlove.blogspot.com/2010/06/elephants-and-cushions.html
