"Owl Zat then!"

Just a quick post today as I couldn't show the postcards that I made a couple of weeks ago.  A couple of owl themed cards were sent to Janet (in pink) for the 26th and Lesley for the 28th

I did the drawing to make templates for the appliqued pieces but it wasn't my design.  I have a pattern for 3 owl cushions designed by Gail Penberthy and it was the photo on the front of this for the little owl in the set that I drew from.  I used fusible web to attach the pieces and zigzagged around the pieces and the face and beak pieces were free machined before sewing on the eyes.  After the postcard was layered and trimmed I finished by attaching narrow ribbon.   I knew from previous swaps that Janet had requested pink cards so I used the pink background fabric for her card.
