Quilter Blogs & Store Search
Kids and birthday parties. It's a never ending wonder what to have the kids take as presents. A couple days ago my 12 year old daughter got invited to a birthday party Saturday. Today at dinner she asked me if she could buy her a small pillow pet. Ah -- no.
But. . . we could make her a pillow with some minky type fabric I have.
But could we put velcro on it so it can open and close? Ah -- no.
So the idea gradually evolved into our version of an owl pillow pet.
Yes, I actually made an owl. That may be a surprise to those who know I am not a huge fan of the owl fad. Evidently, my daugther's friend is a owl fan -- and likes the colors brown and blue.
I had found what I thought was the perfect fabric, a brown mottled flannel. My daughter wasn't sold. Then I found some scrap sections from my brown quilt. My daughter said they were perfect. I thought so too. The back is the cream with brown dots that is on the eye. It's about 14" squarish in size.
All in all, I think it's kind of cute -- for an owl.

I think it's adorable.
It looks great and those horns look very huggable. I can imagine them wrapping around my neck :)
Ahhh, I am so glad you insisted on making one rather than buying one.
The owl is adorable!
Cute! For a minute there, I thought you had ditched the hexagon quilt!
It's adorable - for an owl! You did a bang-up job, the kid will love it.
It is adorable. My DD loves owls.
You did a great job.
As an owl fan of over 35 years, I love it.
I love this owl! But not because of the current owl/bird trend in decorating and craft but because I have loved owls for something like 30 years now (ever since being identified as an owl on the Enneagram - it's a personality type indicator).
