The first day of 2013 marked the end of STITCHED 2012 which means I can now offer you my Baby Quilt & Owl Softie class as a stand alone online video workshop. Last year I had several of you ask about registering for it by itself and I’m glad to announce that it’s finally live and ready for you to register!

| Baby Quilt & Owl Plush Toy projects |
In this online video workshop I’ll teach you step-by-step how to make both projects shown above. This would be a great intro to quilting workshop for anyone looking to try their hand at quilting. It’s a small square quilt measuring approximately 36″ x 36″, that can also be a wall hanging and even a tummy-time mat for any baby!
The other project is a cute and cuddly owl softie. The owl is made using the fabric scraps left over from the quilt yardage. A PDF file is provided and includes the complete owl pattern. I will also show you how to machine applique the owl’s facial features and a super easy way to stuff the little guy.
Why you should sign up for this workshop:
 |
| We call him Ollie the Owl. So cute and so easy to whip up! |
 |
| Easy peasy quilt even for first-time quilters! |
 |
| Owl plush toy |
If you have any questions feel free to leave them below and I’ll answer them as soon as I can! Thanks!

Just had a question about the baby blanket. I wondered if the embroidery ties would be a problem with a baby chewing and biting on them? What do you think?
Thank you for your GREAT videos. You do an excellent job of explaining everything in detail and since I’m a newby that is really helpful! They are the best I’ve ever seen. THANK YOU!

Hi Kathy! I actually prefer the embroidery thread to anything else when hand tying a baby quilt. When my daughter was a baby she would pick at them with her hands and occassionally try to put her mouth on it but because the threads separate and don’t pull easily I had no real concern. You can always clip the knots shorter as to not leave any tales. I just wouldn’t recommend adding anything that may be a choking hazard- buttons, beads, etc. Hope that helps! And I’m glad to hear you enjoy my tutorials. :o)
