The elephant

On Sunday I finished another cushion for the craft fair, I had intended making one with flowers but this template of an elephant leapt out at me and demanded to be appliqued immediately.  I then was trying to make all nine elephants in different fabrics when I alighted upon some lovely stripey fabric and the some spotty fabric.


Once I had appliqued the elephants, I top embroidered the saddles in chain stitch and used a french knot for their eyes.
