Yesterday I posted about my need to hurry up an ketchup… or catch up, rather, on my blocks in our Fab Bee! Today I’m going to show Ellen’s blocks from, gulp, August. Ellen wanted everyone to do owls. Right away when Chris,my husband, found out what the theme was, he automatically said “I know what I want to do!”. When he told me, I immediately started to say, “You can’t do that, that’s way to advanced!” But then I remembered back to Cynthia’s block. It was the first block kicking off the bee and the theme was hearts. Chris told me he wanted to an anatomical heart. I talked him out of it saying that was way to advanced. Well, Amy did one and it was awesome! Chris was a little choked with me when he saw how fantastic it turned out. So I bit my tongue and this is what he came up with. Luckily I knew Ellen has an awesome sense of humour.
For my block it was just after we had Sonja from Artiziania come talk to our guild. I bought one of her owl paper pieced patterns. I had never done one before! It was so fun and now I’m so addicted!
I love buttons and I have a coveted secret button stash, which I only use under special circumstances. Ellen’s owl was one such circumstance!
I would even go as so far to say it was a HOOT! See what I did there, wink, wink!
