Bring gentle owl charm to your stitching with this Applique Wise Old Owl, a bright, characterful bird with oversized round eyes, pointed ear tufts and neat little claws. The white, purple, yellow, black and grey palette gives it a clear, storybook look that suits children’s makes as well as anyone who likes a friendly woodland motif. It is a good choice for applique fans who want an owl that reads instantly from across the room without becoming fussy.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it sits well on fabric where you want the applique shapes to do the work rather than a heavy layer of thread. It would look especially at home on a quilt block, library tote, sweatshirt, pyjama case or the pocket of a child’s pinafore. With 12 thread colours and a wide size range, you can keep the owl small and sweet on everyday items or scale it up for a cushion front or blanket panel.
