New Embroidery Pattern - Night Owls

$5.00

Here it is - my newest embroidery pattern! I call it Night Owls. These patterns were really fun to stitch - similar to the Birds Sampler pattern. I especially love the effect of the fly stitch on that big guy's wings.

What you get:
  • a full-sized pattern for tracing (total image is roughly 6 1/2 inches square)
  • a reversed image for use with iron-on transfer products
  • a complete color and stitch guide with links to videos teaching you the stitches used
A few notes:

I designed the owl "poses" to work on or off the branches, so you can stitch them either way.

I used thread from every one of my thread bundles - mostly mediums and lights. But these are pretty. . . um. . . technicolor owls. :-) I think they'd be beautiful stitched up all in neutral colors too.

Stitch them on T-shirt, in hoops, on jeans, on tea towels, cloth napkins, hankies, bread cloths, pillow covers, etc. As I always say - if you can get it in a hoop, you can stitch on it. :-)

The thought of them on pillow covers totally reminds me of my Grandma Gloria. Her house was FULL of owls - all given to her by her children and grandchildren. Owl figurines sitting on shelves, owl macrame wall hangings (this was the 70s, after all), owl mugs and platters, owl-shaped candles - owls everywhere. She told me once that she didn't know how it all started - that she didn't even especially like owls - but that she loved her collection of owl gifts.

So stitch up an owl gift for someone! :-)

$5.00

Have a great weekend everyone!

Best,
Wendi
