This is the group she just finished for Valentine's Day. I love she names each hippo, and they seem to have their own personalities.
She carefully constructs each one, with sturdy seams, and dense stuffing.
Each one comes with a ribbon and handmade tag. These would make great gifts, I think!
Liz is offering a discount code in case you don't win. Just visit her shop and use code Ruby10 for 10% off any hippo! This code is good until February 14th. Liz will be making more, too, so please check back!
Aren't they cute? I don't think I'd ever have the patience to make one of these myself. Making these little guys was stressful enough, and they are definitely not constructed like the hippos!
Ruby is up for grabs. Just leave a comment, and tell me what fabric print you would love to see on a hippo! Personally? I think there should be a Good Folks Cathedral hippo...
One comment per person, and US residents only. I apologize to international peeps!
