I have a standing agreement with my good friend Joan (who incidentally is an amazing crochet artist with a new website!) that one of these days, we’re just going to run away to the llama farm (pending acquisition of a llama farm). For her recent birthday, I thought I’d jump-start the process by giving her her first llama.
Well, maybe just a quilted llama.
This is Lleonard (paper pieced from this pattern), and he’s purple to match his new owner’s favorite color. The background is a yarn-dyed Essex Linen blend, and I quilted it with a loopy yarn-like pattern.
Lleonard seems a little unsure about everything, but I think he’s settling in nicely after a dramatic first day in which he fell off the wall.
He’s backed in this amazing llama print I stumbled across at Gotham Quilts in New York city this summer:
Who else is headed to QuiltCon in less than two weeks? I’m hoping to meet lots of online friends there!
This is super adorable! What a cute little face and even cuter is the fabric on the back.
SO cute!!
Thank you!!! I llove Lleonard! My favorite part is how his mouth is pieced: so much personality conveyed in 3 little seams!
Lleonard the Llama is adorable!!
