Owl

This picture has no real reason to be in this post, other than it was in my photo file and I like it. So...it's my blog and I like it, so here it is. 

 

 

I was thinking of making an owl quilt, then one of my coworkers said, "I wish you would make an owl quilt."

He's a little funky, fun owl. Here he is trying on a pair of antique buttons from my grandmother's collection.

Then, with his keen eyesight, from across the room, he spotted these little iridescent beauties, also from Grandma's sewing box.

 

I have been wanting to try this for a while. It took more guts than I thought it would.

I stapled my quilt!

I had to take a deep breath and do it.

                           Funky little owl didn't mind, but I was having heart palpitations!

After the sacrificial stapling, it was easy to pop Little Mr. Funky into this awesome frame. I found these at a flea market, this nice gentlemen was selling them for an unbelievably low price. I bought several.

I think I might be doing some more little funky forest friends for Mr. Who. That was fun.
