Homespun BOM 2023 Kit ~ Owl & Hare Hollow  By Natalie Bird of The Birdhouse

Owl & Hare Hollow  By Natatlie Bird of The Birdhouse    

By Natatlie Bird of The Birdhouse    

“Owl and Hare Hollow is my happy place in the countryside. I imagine winding country lanes, tea and scones in the garden, a natter with friends, gentle, quiet time, watching the flowers sway in the breeze, the bees dancing above, and a house on a hill watching over it all. A lovely place to escape to perhaps, when I’m busy and rushing around in reality!

The stitchery and applique designs in this quilt, portray the idyllic picture of my happy place, using warm and pretty fabrics from my latest fabric collections, and beautiful Cosmo embroidery threads.

I love to do handwork, especially stitchery, applique and EPP, so of course, these are all visited in my Owl & Hare Hollow quilt, as well as simple piecing, all in a gentle, irregular, happy, scrappy looking, circular format.”
