I love owls, which is funny because in real life I don’t much care for anything that flies. I don’t like birds, butterflies, owls – anything that can swoop at me. I know butterflies? But it is true, they freak me out, which is why I don’t go in butterfly houses at the zoo.
Anyways, owls and little cute birds in quilting and sewing projects I love. So does a friend of mine, Karen. She is having a baby, any day now in fact and decided to do her nursery in owls.
I found this cute pattern and kit at Connecting Threads and wanted to get it for myself – but had to stop myself because really why would I need an owl quilt? But when my friend Karen said she was doing an owl theme I ordered it so I could at least make it.
Aren’t these owl cute? I love the silly little eyes – french knots.
I quilted it this the other day. I stitched in the ditch around the hour glass blocks and stippled around the trees and owls as tightly as I could .
I can’t wait to give to Karen’s new baby. I hope they love it.
Learned Today: Next time I will also stitch down the owls to the quilt, not just the background squares so the don’t stick up.
Your owls are cute. Maybe if they looked like that in real like you would like them.
You are right, maybe if they did look that I wouldn’t be so afraid of them.
CUTE!!!!!!!
