Hippo! Giveaway!

Liz is a fellow HMQG member. She is a super fun person, and has just started making adorable hippos for her etsy shop. She agreed to share one for a giveaway here!

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!

You can enter until Friday morning, CST.

Thanks to Liz for sharing!

ETA: Comments are now closed. The winner is, #1! That never happens, but the Random Number Generator proves it can! Rachel wins!

Thanks to all who entered!

  12. Honestly I can't think of anything cuter than the polka dot ones. but it might be fun to have a print with little birdies on them--and then you could give one for a birthday gift with a note that says "Hippo birdie to you" ;-)
