Quilted owl purse

Hoot hoot!  Here is the owl purse I just had to make.  I believe it was from Quilts and More Magazine, from 2011, maybe?  I gave it to our neighbor girl.  It seemed like an easy pattern but I was not overly pleased with how the binding didn't seem to match up nicely on the back.  All right for a five-year-old girl, though--I've seen her carrying it around.

Another baby quilt finished in summer of 2010.  Some scraps were from the Little Blessings fabric line.  It's a floating star, which was the same pattern for the quilt I made for his big brother.

Scrappy backing, using up some little ones, too.

I made this quilt for a friend from church and Girl Scouts. It is a scrappy quilt--I did not buy anything new for it, including the batting, which was pieced together from fairly large scraps.

The label is an experiment, as I have never done any embroidery before but would like to start!  The embroidery is free form, my first attempt at some stitches.  Bird was appliqued first and embroidery worked after.  The bird is done broderie perse, I believe it is called, where you cut out an image printed on fabric, and applique it.  It's from a fat quarter a friend bought for me a long time ago, probably 10+ years.  I have never figured out what to do with it, but here's a start.
