He then found strips that he wanted me to sew together for the neck and showed me just how I should sew the neck and head together. Next he cut a body and showed me how to attach that to the neck. And then he found two legs and I followed his instructions to attach them to the body. And then he needed a smiley mouth and eyes on both sides of the head. And, judge for yourself, doesn't this look like a giraffe? [ATTACH=CONFIG]391973[/ATTACH]
    sooo did he also name him??? that is just soooo dang adorable... I just love the imagination of children.. bless his little heart.. I agree.. he should make some other animals and you should applicate them onto a quilt for him...

    That is darn cute! My grands would 'paste' scraps on my design wall too ... I had forgotten how much they enjoyed it.

    thanks for sharing!

    He did a great job, and you followed his directions very well. Keep encouraging him.
