I've been tackling some larger projects, so I haven't posted in awhile. One of them is this zoo blanket. Jack and Tess love to get out all of their animals and arrange them on the floor to "make a zoo". I thought it would be fun to design a blanket or play mat that had some fun shapes and colors on it where we could put the different animals. Blue for water, etc... So, after some experimental sewing, I ended up with basically an unstuffed quilt I think. Regardless of what it is, it does look quite fun, and Jack and Tess really love building their zoo on it!
this is awesome, and even better in person. and wouldn't it make a great rug design on a larger scale? yes! it really would.
ReplyDeletei agree with lori, this is super and would be wonderful on a larger scale, too. i'm really enjoying all the things you're posting here.
ReplyDelete(i finally managed to get a comment posted!)
ooh, nicely done. i also think the animals are really beautiful. mind sharing where they came from?
ReplyDeleteSure. It's a mix of quite a few brands:
ReplyDeleteHolztiger - find them anywhere online
Animalz - http://www.anamalz.com/ (these are my favorites)
and some others we got second hand. not sure of the brand.
thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've been contemplating making a car mat for my 2yr old...and I think this might be the perfect way to do it. Awesome.
