I heard a little girl might like a purple and green owl softie so I searched for a pattern.
I found "Eva Owl" from Design. Wash. Rinse. Repeat and it was exactly what I was looking for.
Searching through my scraps I found all the ingredients and made her this afternoon:
She is almost seven inches tall. The only thing I changed from the pattern was to add wool felt eyes rather than buttons.

I also made a headband for a special great-niece named Piper:
It looks red on this photo but is really a pretty magenta!

I am participating in Doll Quilt Swap 10 and spent most of Saturday on my little quilt. All I have left is to finish the quilting and the binding. I am going to have a hard time sending this one away.
Here is a little peek:
I will do a complete post when I am finished. The quilt measures sixteen inches square. I hope my partner likes it.
