Quilted elephant

I have finally finished the Rumpled Quilt Skins elephant for Aaron.

He is made in yellow flannel and is so soft and cuddly that DS2 doesn't want him to leave.

Now I am making this changing bag for DD/DGS in a bright yellow, green and blue fabric:

He seems very Babar-esque to me.

Like with the right clothes he could be taken for Babar's oddly coloured cousin.

Very nice! And did you know that a diaper bag is a very good bag for a fine camera carried by a "mom" or "grandma"? The padding and the moisture proofing are ideal to protect a camera, and so long as the bag looks like a diaper bag it is safer from thieves and pickpockets. My sister was a photographer and any time she was alone rather than with a crew she ALWAYS took her personal camera in a diaper bag! She kept a couple of clean diapers on top of the camera, a set of plastic "keys" tied to the handle, and just under the flap she kept a "used" diaper -- one that was opened, scrunched a bit, and then rolled tight and taped shut as though it were nasty ... Nasty ... NASTY!

Fiddly but not too bad. Sewing the trunk together was the hardest bit. Of course I made it all harder for my self by doing it in flannel, not "ordinary" quilting cotton, but he has come out so soft and cuddly it was worth the effort.

Thank you all for your kind comments - DGS will be getting him tonight. I'll try to get a picture of the two of them together for you all to see.

I'm trying to pass on by this one as quickly as I can. I don't want to have an elephant attack and launch into Rumpled Quilt Skins. However . . . wouldn't that be precious in Minkee? Polly
