It's that time again. Time to Hop along with this fun and creative group under the leadership of calicojoan.
The brilliant idea for this month is to create something that relates to the jungle. Sounded like fun when I signed up and it stayed fun from beginning to todays posting. I didn't have any plan up front but I think "jungle " as beautiful greenery or adorable animals. Yea I grew up in a city type environment.
Last month I participated in a Quilt Shop Hop and this wonderful fabric jumped off the shelf into my cart at one of the stops.
Absolutely perfect for this event. Now that I had the beautiful jungle background I needed to find some adorable animals. I have gotten very dependent on Creative Fabrica for lots of my crafting needs. I headed in and asked for ideas for machine embroidered animals.
So how did I do finding occupants for my little jungle? I love them to pieces. Our local Quilt Chapter of the Quilt Guild of the Villages, throws an annual baby shower for the Children's Home Society, as a group we make things for children under the age of 5. Lots of quilts and blankets, pillowcases , stuffed animals and the like. We also give things such as diapers and baby products.
So this is the fun blanket from the jungle. that I put together for the event. Sorry I couldn't get the blocks to show in detail but they are the same blocks from above.
I also felt that a small child could use some personal jungle fun and came up with the idea of a back pack with a fun jungle buddy. I tossed in a coloring book and a pack of crayons.
Well I hope you enjoyed your visit to my jungle. I enjoyed having you come. Have you visited with the other Jungle stops. Well if not, here is a list of the other locations. It will be worth taking the trips.
