DUCJC 2016 - Day 20 - Ollie Owl

Morning all!

Here I am, back again with the last of the Woodland Folk designs. This is Ollie Owl and I know at least one person (HB) who will be pleased to see his appearance!

Ollie's post also marks the two-thirds-of-the-way-through-this-crazy-challenge point. It's certainly all downhill from now on!

Here's how Ollie will look when completed, and my progress to date:


DMC
Stitched on 16ct Kelp over-dyed aida by Fabric Flair 2 over 1
Stitch count 75 wide by 49 high
Estimated stitching time 18 hours
Stitching time to date - 2 hours 15 minutes


I almost always start stitching at the top of a design but had to break with tradition for this one and start with Ollie's gorgeous eyes - how could I not?!

Tomorrow I will have another environmental message for you.

TTFN,
Rachel x

    He's just as gorgeous as the rest of them! The fabric is a perfect colour to set them all off. Great choice! I have a feeling he will soon be making an appearance in February...

    Glad you started with the eyes. Now he will be staring at you until you stitch more. Sad to know it's the last Woodland Folk one. Wonder what else you have in line?

    I think you should make all of the adorable animals into a quilt when you are done with them. They would be SO cute!!!! Great job!

    Yay! I love seeing Ollie stitched up. And of course you had to start with his eyes. Then he can "watch" you. :)
