It's a Hoot : :

I was so inspired by the designs of  pepper stitches and all that is over at feeling stitchy for us to gawk at, that I decided to get busy on a new embroidery of my own. I am still waiting on the fabric (which should be here today : )  for the vw bug pillow in the works....

But what I do have is about a yard and a half of this It's a Hoot fabric by Alexander Henry. How adorable and so very perfect for this lady, who loves to make owls. It was a wonderful gift and I have been waiting for the right way to use it.

And, so I began working on my own simple embroidery these last few days. I hoped it would make a lovely little pillow and a wonderful way to finally put a bit of this owl fabric to good use.

While sitting on the porch, stitching away, I realized that embroidering like this is the perfect project to be doing on a beautiful week like the one we are having.

Where everyday, all day we are outside or going somewhere. Hopefully, there will be lots of summer stitching in the upcoming months.

It took me a few days to finish. It's actually a very large pillow, I should probably measure it.

I wish I would have made it an oval shape, rather than cutting around the shape of the owl, not sure why I did that, but I suppose I can just make another.

Thank you chunkychooky,  pepper stitches, feeling stitchy, and Cynthia's Mom for the inspiration and fabric!

Wishing you all a lovely weekend! ~ Maureen
