These Sweet Elephants Are Fun for the Nursery
Make the Pillow Cover or Finish the Top Into a Wall Quilt!
This charming throw pillow features a sweet family of elephants on the front. The balloons are a fun touch that makes it even more endearing for the nursery.
Choose colors that match the decor or any combination that catches your eye. The fusible applique shapes are perfect for scraps.
The edges of the applique provide a chance to try Free-Motion Machine Embroidery. Instructions are included, and it’s easy enough for beginning quilters who are proficient with their sewing machines. You can also sew down the edges by hand, use a machine satin stitch, or try this tip for machine-stitching outlines.
Free-Motion Machine Embroidery is a fun touch and can be used for many projects.
The pillow is finished with an envelope closure on the back. You can also make the top into a sweet little wall hanging.
