owl week


It's owl week this week!  I just love owls, I've been collecting them for a long time!  For today's project, I'm making an owl pillow to match Hannah's college quilt.


I gathered up a bunch of scraps left from her quilt, and some felt.


Luckily, I had some strips sewn together already.  I sewed them in rows to cover the 18 inch pillow form that I had.


Next, I cut a felt face out.  Before I started to sew it on, I pinned all the pieces on the fabric.



I used a zigzag stitch to add the pieces to the pillow.  I added some turquoise ric rac to the edges... and I was done.  




It was a perfect match in her dorm room!  Come back tomorrow for another owl project!
