Finished custom order

I do apologise folks I did say I would post about my finished custom order and I forgot. Well here it is... I drew the shape of the owl to get the base pattern piece then cut a wing shape to make the wing pattern and did the same for the beak, peak and 'ears'.

 

I made the eyes using felt, then hand stitched the to the body, the peak is made from the same fabric as the wings and the beak is felt, the 'ears' are made from the same fabric as the feet and the right one has thin batting inside to give some firmness to it. The ears, peak and beak were stitched in place first then I applied the eyes.

 

I used thick wadding inside to ensure a nice quilted feather finish to the body. I hand stitched the wings onto the body.

 

 

 

The full moon is made of felt with thick wadding inside and the hanger is 22 gauge wire.

 

The feet have thinner batting inside and machine stitched to give the impression of the toes. The branch is from my garden and makes the perfect finish.

 

This owl is double sided so my customers daughter can hang it in her room's window so both she and her fellow students get to enjoy him.

 

My customer absolutely adores him.

Craft Jumble...

Burnham Stitch & Craft Club hold a craft jumble

once a year, usually at the beginning of March.

This year is was on Saturday 7th. I went along with my

shopping list.

 

I didn't get everything I wanted but I did get some fabulous bargains.

 

I got a heap of DMC threads, white, cream and off white

woven fabric to use with my cushions. Some lovely old wood

knitting needles that have a fab patina. A wicker basket

(I can't resist a basket) and linen fabric for

my cross stitch and embroidery.

 

 

I love the patina of this needle

wonderful patina of this hand made needle

 

This one looks to be hand made

It was suggested I could use tis large needle to do broomstick crochet 
which I will at some point. Yet another craft to add to what I
already do:

painting
cross stitch
embroidery
sewing
candle making

soon rug hooking and broomstick crochet.
