Owl & Blanket for Wendy: Several months ago I came across this owl print flannel at the fabric store and I needed to buy it. I had no reason to purchase it and I had nothing in mind to make out of it, I just thought it was really cute and I liked it so I bought some of it. I knew that my unborn son wouldn't appreciate the sweet pink and gold owls, so this was destined to be a gift for a little girl.

Then along came Wendy, daughter of my friends Ryan and Heather. I was invited to a baby shower for her back in March and she became the perfect recipient for the flannel owls. I made a small baby blanket with the fabric, but that didn't seem like enough, so I made the owl to match. I patterned the owl after one in the flannel's print and she turned out really awesome! My favorite part about her is her wings and tail (I wish I had a close up picture to show how cool they are). I pieced each feather on individually and I like the effect.
