Giraffe-a-rama!

Special requests can be challenging, but they always move me forward and take me to places I would not think to go myself.

I had a special request for a giraffe pillow (which turned into two identical giraffe pillows). These are going to be a gift to a wonderful woman who does amazing philanthropic work. Her favorite charity is her local zoo and giraffes are her favorite critter. So the request was for a "mature" looking giraffe to appliqué on a pillow for a grown-up woman.

I finally settled on a silhouette; finally found the right fabric and went to work. It may not look difficult, but it was a challenge. But one I am so happy I accepted.

She deserves the best; I hope she enjoys them!
