Here are my accomplishments and progress so far on completing the owl block for this week. First, I drew an owl design. Drawing it on a post-it note was not well conceived or intentional. But so it goes.
Next, I drew a square the size of the block, fiddled with some Kay Buckley template plastic circles to determine the owl eye size. Then I redrew the owl to its final size. Then I traced it and cleaned up the drawing.
By having the drawing on tracing paper, I can have either a front or reversed version. (If I make freezer paper templates, I will trace the pattern from the reverse of the tracing paper, and then iron the freezer paper pattern to the back of the fabric...to get the original version.) I have also found the fabric to use for the eyes, the wing and the body.
The bird a week project is just something I'm doing to prod myself into designing on a regular schedule and at least post to this blog once a week.
