Ruth's Elephant

Recognize the fabric?  Yep, this is from my crimson summer dress I made last year.  I had a fair amount still lying around so I used it to make another stuffed elephant for my friend Peggy who gave birth to a beautiful bouncing baby girl last summer.  Shamefully I had not been out to visit in months and so when we finally settled on a date two weeks ago I was able to give baby Ruth this gift.  She seemed as content to play with it as she was with the plastic wrap from her rice crackers but that's perfectly fine with me :)
