Hi,
I am starting a memory quilt for my daughter who has been studying abroad in Thailand. I would like a monkey and elephant pattern to applique on the quilt. Any suggestions?

Well, I don't have an applique pattern for an elephant but here's a link to a wonderful pieced one...thought I'd share it anyways...

There is a great pattern of a mom and baby elephant on this site....perhaps this will help!!!

OH, I just found a pattern on Etsy that may give you an idea for a monkey!!!!!

Thank you - I found this one also and already made the block. Really cute!

check out free coloring book pages, I'm sure you could find something there to adapt to appliqué

great idea - thanks!

Yes coloring books are great inspiration!

I am attaching a picture of an elephant quilt I made my grandson when he was born six years ago. The pattern is in Quiltmaker's All-Time Favorites Fall 2003 issue. I don't know if you can still get back issues that are that old. This was a blast to make. My DIL loves bright fabrics, so that is what I went with as you can see and it was way outside my comfort zone.

I also have a pattern for appliqued monkeys. If you are interested in that, I will try to find the name of it.

Cute quilt Judy!

I love those elephants Judy! Cute quilt. I will try and find the magazine in the archives.
Also, if you find the monkey pattern for the applique monkey that would be great!
Thanks!

Elaine: Here's a link to Amazon.com where you can buy the Monkey pattern. http://www.amazon.com/Storybook-Snug.../dp/156477788X Or you can do a google search for Storybook Snugglers Monkey Business and find other places to buy it.

I made the quilt (see a picture below) but didn't applique the monkeys - I machine embroidered them on. But the monkeys in the pattern are really cute though.

personally I would be partial to the monkeys! :D

Try fat cat patterns. Has free animals

somewhere in this house there is that elephant pattern, unused. if you want me to look for it, pm me.
