Bring storybook charm to your stitching with this floral owl design, where a wide-eyed owl perches on a branch surrounded by roses, tulip-like buds, tiny blossoms, leafy vines, butterflies and little hearts. The mix of pink, light purple, mint, green, yellow and blue against black, white and brown gives it a gentle, playful look that still reads clearly. It suits anyone sewing for children, nursery décor or a nature-themed project that wants an animal motif with a softer, more decorative feel.
With 12 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched finish, this design has the kind of coverage that stands up well on sturdy fabrics such as sweatshirts, quilt blocks, tote bags, cushions and jacket backs. The detailing in the leaves, petals and owl features gives it plenty to look at, so it works best where you want the embroidery to be the main event rather than a tiny accent. Use it on a children’s cardigan, a reading pillow, a book bag or a wall hanging when you want something cute, colourful and a little more polished than a simple animal motif.
