MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Pile result


Here's what I made with one of the piles of fabric I showed you yesterday....


The fleece turned into this pillow for our grandson for Christmas.    The pattern modifications I made were to use some other fabrics from my stash for the eyes and beak rather than the fleece it called for and I didn't use buttons for the eyes, opting to use fabric instead.  I adhered the eyes & nose with some lightweight HeatNBond before stitching them down - otherwise the fleece likes to 'travel' as you stitch.  


Another quote from an unknown source...."Every single person on the planet has a story.  Don't judge people before you truly know them.  The truth might surprise you"

  1. How very cute your grandson's owl is, Mary Anne. He will have the best time snuggling with this fellow.

  2. Mary Anne you are Wonder Woman with how quickly and fabulously you create gifts. This Owl is BLUEtiful. Very cute Gingerbread Boy. Excellent quote and I try to never judge people because I am always amazed when I hear their stories...especially our “Old Timers”. <3
