I grew up watching Disney on VHS taped from the TV. I know "What's a VHS!?" Remember in Dumbo when Dumbo gets drunk and hallucinates the pink elephants? It was one of our favorite parts as kids. We would watch it in slow motion. Seriously. :o)
Elephants have been my favorite animal for a long time. Partly because my name starts with 'E' but also because they're just so amazing. They're so giant, yet so gentle. If I could own a pigmy elephant, I would!
Latley I've been seeing a fun trend in quilting fabric- Elephants!
I thought I would share a few fun ones that I found.
Pink Elephants from Violet Craft's PEACOCK LANE for Michael Miller
Pink Elephants from Michael Miller. These are perfect 'Dumbo' elephants *wink*
Lastly, this cute little number from Timeless Treasures.
So what are your thoughts- do you think elephants are the new birds or owls?
I hope elephants are NOT the new birds....I hate to imagine what would happen to my car as they fly over.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered why I like pink elephants so much and you just explained it Emily!!! Dumbo! All of those prints are so cute and I own a few with no definite sewing plans.
ReplyDeleteI think Elephant fabrics have been around - they only have just become popular in a new light. I remember applique elephants on my bell bottoms.
ReplyDeleteI love elephants! I could barely watch Water for Elephants. Good to see some elephants on fabric.
ReplyDeleteMore cute elephants--scroll down to the second quilt design by Trish Harper.

I too have always loved elephants, (I have a collection of ornamental ones). I am still cross with my Dad that he didn't let me bring the baby elephant home from the circus... the man said i could have it.
ReplyDeleteI found a piece of red batik with elephants on it in one of my drawers and am wondering if i might put it in my red and white "just takes two", quilt. i hope they don't become the new trend though.
Probably. They are everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI also have a collection of elephants which started many
ReplyDeleteyears ago. I think they have always been popular.
I LOVE the term "Pink Elephant" and I think it is time for a change from Owls everywhere. I laugh all the time with friends telling them there is always a "Pink Elephant" in everyones family! Lol
ReplyDeleteI love this this new fabric.
Love the elephants!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have that song in my head all day now! Thanks for sharing the cute fabric. :-)
