It’s a Jungle Blog Hop August

/ quiltinggail

Joan from Moose Stash Quilting has challenged us with It’s a Jungle blog hop. And today is my day!

The Challenge: Animals, plants, trees…what’s in your jungle?

I have actually lived in the jungle in Venezuela and didn’t want to do a quilt with snakes or tarantulas on it. But, I did travel to South Africa and went on a safari. Although, it was quite different than the jungle I was familiar with, we did see elephants. Oh, how I loved seeing them in the wild!!! Along with the giraffe’s, zebras, springbok, and a zillion other animals!

I’ve made this quilt a few times before and have given them all away (either as baby gifts or donation quilts). I need to have another baby quilt on hand for September baby. I have no idea if it will be a boy or a girl, so I made 2. I know, I could give the green one away to either a boy or a girl, but I had some super cute pink flannel with elephants on it, so that made the decision for the pink one!

Quilt Stats:

  • Size: 42″ x 44.5″
  • Fabric: from my stash
  • Hobbs Batting Heirloom: 80/20
  • Aurifil Thread: #2600, Dove Grey
  • Quilting: All free motion, echoing outside the elephants and stippling within the elephants.

  9. Wow! I’ll bet you have some interesting stories from your years living in the jungle of Venezuela! I cannot imagine snuggling under a quilt with a tarantula or snake applique on it, so I’m really happy you chose a pair of sweet elephants! They do make adorable baby quilts!

  12. Such a cute baby quilt with those elephants, Gail! I love the gray fabric combo with the pink and turquoise. How interesting that you lived in Venezuela. That sounds like quite an adventure! Thank you for sharing your jungle beauties!

  18. Oh my goodness those are absolutely adorable. Whatever one you do not gift the new baby will certainly be loved by another. I would love to hear the story of you living in the jungle some day!

    • Thank you! We actually went when our kids were 14 & 16. Many people thought we were crazy. And, perhaps we were! But it was a great experience for all of us. But I do appreciate all the readily available food and supplies!
