For their 2nd birthday, I decided to make my cousin's twin son and daughter these owl "softies" from a pattern I found online. They were SO much fun to make, I decided to make one for a co-worker's new son. I used left-over fabric from the baby quilts I made for the twins two years ago - glad I am a fabric hoarder! You can see the quilts I made in an earlier post.

So, for those of you willing to spend a little time behind the sewing machine, here's the link. They really were pretty easy, just a little time-consuming . I probably spent about 3 hours on each one.

These are really cute. I love the green and blue one. So fun that they will match the quilts.
