To the Victors....

...go the spoils.
After much discussion of their options, both the winners of the Name that Owl Giveaway independently chose owl satchels as their prize. Excellent choice!

I found a fun new pattern from the current stitch magazine and gave it a go. I knew I wanted to add an owl applique to fit with the owl theme, and the pattern called for a heavier upholstery fabric. As I pondered I looked to my left at the table skirt my sewing table was wearing. In true Sister Maria style, I ripped that sucker right off and made two totes out of it.

It was perfect. It was hefty and the repetitive circle/heart designs morphed into owls before my very eyes. How could I not repurpose it?

So Jenean who so brilliantly suggested Bobbin's perfectly fitting name, and Carlo, who the universe deemed the random winner, these babies are coming your way! Enjoy!
