Yay! The owl quilt, formally known as Parliament is finished. Did I take a photo of it before I dropped it off for the NW Quilt Show? Of course not! One of the primary tasks is using a lint roller to pick up all the cat hair. This required the help of both Molly and Buddy. I thought I should tackle the problem at its core but Molly was not amused!
The quilt show is next Friday and Saturday at the Portland Expo center. I will be demonstrating how to sew in circles like the owl eyes.
Sewn-in circles are also used for the lion's head. I also used the technique for some of the Dear Jane blocks. Time to take a trip down memory lane.
Is Parlaiment entered for competition or exhibition? Should we all fly to Portland for your demo (I wish) or can you do a tutorial??
ReplyDeleteWe owl love your work.
ReplyDeleteBoth great quilts. I'm looking forward to seeing both (and you) in person.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous that Barbara gets to meet you!
ReplyDeleteI remember you showing how you did the circles and being intrigued, but I haven't tried it yet. Now that I need to make an owl, because OMG-OWL, I'll have to go back and look again.
Both quilts are just spectacular!
ReplyDeleteFantastic owls Sally and of course your lions are looking very happy, perhaps it's the proximity of the owls who may make a small meal for them!
ReplyDeleteI thought I heard a lot of hootin' and hollerin' and tracked it down to this Hootenanny! Now that's jammin'!! Wooohoo!
