Picture perfect
An end of year baby for friends gave a reason to go back to the sewing machine and stitch up a quick picture. As this is their second child, I worked on the theme , " And then there were four".
Based on the owl pattern from Moonstitches, the owls are felt, with scraps of tweed and cotton, stitched and quilted on to a piece of my tray -dyed cloth. The moon is foiled, but it doesn't show up too well here, The branch is a piece of great fabric by Joel Dewberry called Woodgrain, sadly, no longer available. Mounted on an 8 x 8 inch block frame.

So cute! Interesting to see the owl used in a different context - I'm tempted to add one to my (long) list of things to do!
