Sleepy Owl. This one has taken me about 4 hrs to make. It has 21 steps with lots of placing and stitching fabric. Looks good but does not sit properly when turned inside out. Not in a hurry to do the other 4 but will eventually do all of them. From Secrets of Embroidery

I love it!!

I love owls, this one is lovely and I don't see anything that can be improved. Hugs.

Thanks, I actually bought this fabric to make a quilt years ago. I know I will never make the quilt so it went to the Owl.

He is adorable and well worth the effort. think how much longer it would take if it was done all by hand lol.

I think it actually would be quicker. Most of the time is placing the fabric and cutting close to the edges.

I think the extra work shows in the details like the eyes. Very nice job. Looking forward to seeing your others done!

I too love owls. Would be interesting if they were larger.

Wow! Very Cool! So is he a little purse or stuffed? Looks incredible! Love the eyes!

He/She is one of 6 and I bought them as pot holders, but I am sure they could be adapted to make a purse.

love it! And all the placing and effort shows, you did a wonderful job on this one - way to go.

Thank You, Love these but they take ages to make and I am not so sure they would make very good Pot Holders

Did you put 2 folded pieces overlapped like a cushion back on the back of the owl . It sits a lot better than putting a solid piece on the back. I have tried both methods and find the first one sits better. Regards Joyce

Yes I did.

He is cute , but way too much time. I guess mine would be "one of a kind"

This is why I have not yet done the remaining 4 designs.

I love your owl and the fabrics you used! Does anyone have a link to this design on Secrets? I have looked and am not able to find it! Thanks! Keep up the lovely work!

Sorry link may not work - anyway - Set is called "Owls in my Kitchen" by Inspiration Mutz.

by mi30kaja 05 Apr 2012

I think it was available in a couple sites and one was cheaper than the other. If you make these please let me know how you get on just in case I am doing it all wrong. It is "Owls in my Kitchen". Thank you sllakin

I love this sleepy expression of her face. That'S how I look sometimes in the morning *lol*

Very cute owl. Very nice

Die Arbeit hat sich gelohnt,die Eule ist sehr schön

This is a beautiful owl.....no wonder it took 4 hours!! I understand, though, how laborious it is to work on one project for so long!!

It is the placing of the fabric and colour changes that take the time.

4 Hours ?... but it is sure a nice result !

die Eule ist wunderbar

This is so cute and love your color combinations!! Time consuming but well worth it!!Keep on stitchin'!!!

Thanks Sue. Would love to have done this one in browns but couldn't find enough browns.

Oh WOW...it is sooo delightful and you used my favorite color too!

Had to go to my hordes of fabric and couldn't believe how much green I have. Wanted to do a brown as well but surprisingly I don't have a lot of browns and I love browns.

Great job - looks amazing and so cute. Sarah.

Thank You Sarah.

That's a lot of steps but the end results are excellent and nice details.

I have pulled parts of it out to the correct shape but they just keep popping back in -- like on the wings. Maybe by the time I have finished the 6 the 6th one will be perfect. Fingers crossed. Love the eyes.
