An Owl Pillow For You Know Whoooo

Yes, the daughter. I had this illustration that I purchased from Michelle Palmer of a cute little owl.

I purchased it to make something with it for my daughter and she decided on a pillow.  She liked my bird pillow and wanted something similar to this, with the layering.

None of the fabrics I had on hand seemed to fit her style or personality, so I ordered this one from fabric.com.

A 12x12 pillow cover, layered with a piece of Osnaberg that was “pinked”, and then layered with the owl on top of that.  I used fabric glue for the first layer and the owl layer is sewed on at each corner with the buttons.

Afterwards I thought how cute a button for each color owl would look.

Ready to fly off to the daughter’s with all the other owls!
