Running Giraffe (by lilyvanilli72)

When we were pups, my siblings and I loved the gnu song. For my sister’s birthday last year I designed and embroidered these pillow cases featuring the gnu and a gnother gnu.

This was the first time I’ve seen them in situ (having just stayed at her place in Syria last week) and I’m pretty pleased with them, even if the placement of the design is a bit stupid and random. Apols for the terrible photo, it was a last minute bit of low-light iPhone-ography.

If I’d given myself more time, I’d probably have filled in the gnu pictures too.
