Giraffe, Again
Oh, hello Giraffe!
Mr. Giraffe wants you to know that it was his turn for an update. He was a little bit too complex before and there was just something missing for that added “cute.”
After drafting and playing with colors, I realized that extra something was French Knots. Horns, check. Eye, check. How fun!

Giraffe 2012 replaces my original giraffe pattern, seen here as pieced by shaebay.
And, of course, a free pattern post would not be the same without a fun layout created EQ7! How about four giraffes and some fun sashing and cornerstones to create a unique and fun wall hanging?

Will we still be able to get the older version of the giraffe? I don’t always want cute.
Hugs!
If you need the old pattern, I’m happy to email it to you, but it won’t be available on the website anymore. It’s kind of a mess!
Jennifer,
Mr. Giraffe is too fun. I’ve been thinking about giraffes lately since they are a favorite of my husband.
Thank you for sharing the pattern and your gifts!
Carol
Thanks, Carol! It’s always fun for me to go back to an older pattern and see what I can do to improve it. He sure was fun to play with!
As always, it is my pleasure.
