Many times you find that a subtle design in black and white can be more dramatic than a lot of colors. I would love this Elephant on the back of a jacket or a pillow in the appropriate room.

The Sumatran Elephant, native to the Indonesian Island of Sumatra was declared Critically Endangered in 2011 when its population declined by 80% in 3 generations. There are approximately 2400 to 2800 individuals outside of captivity. The reasons for their decline are mostly loss of habitat and poaching. The Sumatran is the smallest of Asian Elephants (from 6.6’ to 10.5’ at the shoulder) and can be either gray or brown. In addition they can be distinguished by the largest head bump of the elephants. Females can reproduce up to 60 years of age, which is the average lifespan. They have smaller or no tusks where the males have the normal large tusks. I have included the same design for the elephants in both the gray and brown coloring. I originally designed this with quilt blocks in mind. They are designed for a 10” square for the medium size, 12” square for the large and 14” square for the Jumbo. You will find templates in with your ColorCharts for these arrangements. You can also make your own arrangements or only use some of the background designs as I did for the Tote Bag (instructions for the tote included).

You get two versions of each design. One includes a stitched background (the black) and the other is an applique design where you use fabric for the black background. This Applique version stitches much more quickly. You can add embellishments or not. I used Hot Fix Crystals on the medium size designs and both Hot Fix and large glue-on crystals for the Jumbo size Elephant I stitched on white fabric at the top of the page. Experiment with colors for these critters! Choose a neutral background and one or two colors in different shades for the decoration. Or match the colors to the room it will be in or just use your favorite colors. These designs are appropriate for quilts, clothing, and home décor like pillows and pictures.

Perfect for completing wall hangings or making a quilt. Many boys would love a safari quilt - alternate the embroidered blocks with animal print fabrics. Or use one as an accent design on a casual shirt.
These designs can be used with our Safari Series designs also.

Few animals can surpass the majesty of those from Africa. The royal demeanor of the lion, the wary look of the zebra, the placid stance of the giraffe and the leopard being able, even in Africa, to sometimes be just a cat - they are all so well adapted to a many times harsh environment..
