Back in October, Instagram was full of images from Quilt market in Houston. I saw Heather Bailey’s newest owl pattern and I couldn’t wait to order it. I wasn’t the only one, it was back ordered, but not by much.
Since I LOVE owls, this one is for me, not for anyone else. I’ve been busy lately so Edgar wasn’t made in one sitting and I just made one mistake that called for the seam ripper – not bad.
Voila! Here he is!
Side view, btw, I must commend Heather, she designs her three dimensional ‘pin cushions’ (I don’t think I’ll be sticking any pins into him) very well. Also, she is very good at writing instructions.
Love that tail! He is very well balanced and stands on his own with no need to put in any plastic pellets to weigh him down.
I actually took twice as many pictures, but I think this is enough, until I make his friend Poe and then they will model together.
Also, notice how much better I’m getting at this photography thing. Best advice about blurred backgrounds that I found. (I’m not getting into the triangle – this isn’t a photography blog). You need distance between the object and the background as well as using your zoom. One small focal point on the object.
I need to post pictures of my many three dimensional objects, I just love making them.
