Here is my
last purple contribution to the Rainbow Scrappy Challenge for the month of August. This little owl is applique and finishes at 4.5 inches. The applique owls first came about as part of the collection of Alternative Universe Jane Stickle blocks, that is, the blocks Jane Stickle made but didn't include in her now famous quilt.
And here are all the applique owls I've made so far this year...Hey Wait!
Oh dear. He looks a bit googly-eyed like a GMO experiment gone wrong.
Yes, I'm looking at you...the giant green owl from last year that has been languishing as a partial quilt top...
Oh wait, here it is in the Compendium of Alternative Jane Stickle blocks. This is Block W64 or Googly-eyed Owl. Now you might want to find your way back to
pleasing purple and the Rainbow Scrappy Challenge.
And if you're wondering about what Molly is up to...yes, she has literally gone to the dogs in her grief. The voting over at
Pets on Quilts is quite public and Molly has been devastated to see people she knows and loves voting for the likes of
Rocky McFakeyFace and
Sadie McWormyPants. Molly would just like to mention that if Rocky's face were real, no one would bother taking pictures of kittens. And my ears are still ringing from what she had to say about Sadie.

Sally, your owls just make me laugh. They are bright and beautiful and way too fun. You can't put too many of them in one quilt, though. Imagine all those eyes looking at you!

Well, I liked several pets - could we only vote for one? Tell Molly that she and her dog can come by and they can drown their sorrows with Alfie and Darla. Drinks, perhaps? (filtered water). Or maybe some catnip?
Those owls are such a hoot! :). I love the eyes especially! Lots of fun color in that collection.
I actually kind of like the googly eyes. LOL
I love your pudgy little owls! Especially little Mr Googly!
Poor Molly. It's especially galling that people are voting for Sadie McWormyPants' portrait that MOLLY PICKED OUT FABRICS FOR! Insult added to injury...
I love, love Miss Petunia Purple owl with her ruffles and flounces and elegant shoes. As for Molly, I thought that she had turned up her nose at posing for the contest, so why shouldn't Rocky or Sadie win? They did put in the effort after all.
Love you owls and the purple one is my favorite. Lucy voted for Molly. Good luck!!
