I started with a digital downloaded pattern from Quiltmaker Magazine called “Swoopers”
i ( loosely) followed it — I’m terrible about following patterns—
the big center owl was from a picture someone I know had outside his door. I saw it & asked him if I could trace it onto newsprint to use for an applique, he said sure. I traced it one day and snapped a picture to get the colors right then went home & made the appliqué templates to make him.
