Another Diversion
 
3 Attachment(s)
I found another diversion while still trying to finish up that king quilt.....here are twin quilted Owls. I love them. I saw then and just had to have them, one if for a friend. The tummy and wings are quilted. I had 1/2 yard of Jane Sassman fabric and I wanted the butterflies right on the tummy inset. I made a mistake and cut a back and almost couldn't do both tummies with butterflies but I made it whee...

I fussy cut for the wings and barely have anything left. I coordinated with a pretty small green floral, pink and yellow so everything went together. I didn't do felt for the eyes. I just painted those. I unraveled some cord for the ear feathers. These were fun but sure took an awful lot of stuffing and all day to make.

I see I am going to have to move the nose on the right one up a bit. I am not sure about the tail either. The pattern said to sew the tail to the bottom seam and that's what I did but it sure doesn't look right but it's staying lol...I;ll go move the nose up now tho.

wonderful diversions

ManiacQuilter2 05-21-2015 03:59 AM

They have character because the position of the nose. I wouldn't change it.

Thanks Ladies, I forgot to mention that the Pattern is by Jennifer Jangles. These Owl do make a statement, the are large lol. Hubby was saying this morning that I should make two smaller versions too. I agree. I will reduce and post when I get one done.

hahahahh I love that....that cousin ...lol. Anyway, I delivered one of them to a dear friend just now and she just loves her. She is going to name her. I did change the nose on the one I kept, to just a little higher up.

KristenJ 05-22-2015 10:33 AM

Oh my gosh! Cutest thing ever! I just love the owls and that fabric just made them even cuter! Thanks for sharing!

Rosyhf 05-22-2015 10:59 AM

I am so glad that when I was still buying fabric. I used to buy at least 1/2 yard of a fabric if I liked it. I think I bought three different versions of this fabric in different colorways with some kind of craft in mine. I know once the bolt is gone, there is no more of that fabric or it would be very hard to find. I don't remember how many years this piece is lol. but I am so glad that I had it for the owls. It just made it with all the fussy cutting etc. The Owl called for 3 different coordinating fabric and that was easy to pull from stash.

So adorable, I was thinking a smaller one would make a great pin cushion!
