The Colorful Owl

Purple, blue, yellow, orange. I love colors.
And owls?
I'm in love.

This owl pillow came together surprisingly easy. The shape was simple. I drew a 12" x 18" rectangle and added the triangular shaped ears before cutting out my pattern. As seen, I cut 2 plum and 2 yellow teardrop shapes for the wings, 2 plum and 2 blue circles for eyes, and the triangle shape for the nose. I used cream embroidery thread to sew the eyes and nose for the face, as well as a criss-cross patterned "eye sparkle". The most complicated part was sewing on the wings and buttons, but after that was finished, I filled it with padding and sewed it all up.

Tadaaaaa!!





Craft on, little birdies
