Oopsie the Owl


 Meet Oopsie the Owl. As you can see, I didn't center the owl very well on the background.  When I sew the blocks together (as if), the seam line will come much to close to the top of Oopsie's head. I asked him to move down a bit, but he couldn't because I had sewn a curlew wing to his body...obviously not enough wingspan for moving. And yeah, I hadn't given him feet yet. Happily I also hadn't given him a beak so I didn't have to listen to all that owl cursing.


I did make an owl size wing, but could see that there wasn't enough contrast between the wing and the body. So apparently when I went to make a new wing, I grabbed the curlew wing pattern piece instead. And you're right to wonder how this could have happened given all the cat supervisors roaming around. 

The next bird is the downey woodpecker.
