ReplyDeleteI always here our resident owls hooting and calling in the early night, funny how they can be so different in other areas. I am in WV mountains and they call across each hill to one another. Lovely!

ReplyDeleteI love hearing the owls around our place, here in Alaska. We have a Great Horned Owl nest across the river from our house. I would love to win this book and make your Owl Row. I think I would add some little Horned feathers to them.
ReplyDeleteI no clue that a fall row would be in the book with all those brights on the cover. I'm going to love the book even more.
ReplyDeleteLots of great rows but this one is my favorite! I love the contrast in the colors and the adorable owl. I could do a whole row with the stars too! This book is so going on my Christmas list.
ReplyDeleteThe critters and creatures is my favourite section

Oh I love our owls! We rescues one just like it on the interstate. It was standing on the edge of the median and would sway as trucks passed. Being a fabric person I have a tote in the back at all times. We turned around, Came up behind with the fabric and just picked it up. We put it in the tote and carried it to the pound where they called a local rescue group. We stayed to make sure it was picked and told them where we found it. It had been hit but it made it was re-introduced back to the wild. Thanks and sorry so long.
ReplyDeleteOwls are so interesting. I have so many of your books and love all your designs.
ReplyDeleteGreat row. I love the fabric colors.
ReplyDeleteI love owls, they’re very special. My 18 year old daughter passed away early last year from cancer and she loved owls. Not long after she passed, my sister got an owl tattoo in memory of her. A few days later an owl flew into her garage and stayed there overnight. She’d been in that house 7 years and never seen an owl before that and hasn’t since. I love all things owl since and I love your designs so this book is going on the ‘must have’ list. Thanks for another gorgeous design

ReplyDeleteI adore your owl row! What a lovely way to remember a special quiet moment.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your Row. The Row books are so very creative and give us such inspiration to sew them up. I live in south Florida and can appreciate your early morning song, as we have birds that awaken and begin to sing in the wee hours of the morning. It's like they are saying, awake, awake time to begin the day! Smiles, Sue (parkssueellen@gmail.com)
ReplyDeleteI so admire your work! And your fabric. I have almost all of your books and like to look through and dream. This past year I participated in one of your BOM Ripe for the Picking and adore the pattern and the fabric. Since I work full time and help with grandchildren your fabric is untouched waiting for the magical day titled "Retirement"! Looking forward to your new line At Home and hope to purchase some. I would like to see what you have done with that line. Every thing you do is to my liking! Thank you and God's Blessing for you both!

ReplyDeleteAdorable owls--love them!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a very fun book. Thank you for the chance.

Cute Row. Looks like a fun book!
ReplyDeleteMy sister loves the first book. It is cute row. I make lots of charity quilt. Have five now ready for the quilting frame. lkcquilts (at) Hotmail (dot) com
ReplyDeleteThank you! I really want the book, and your row is awesome. I love owls. We have one who lives in the woods between our house and the other side of the ravine that separates two blocks of houses. Sometimes he's close to my side and easy to hear and sometimes he flies to the other end, and it's a distant sound, but I love it! I've not seen him, and don't know the owl calls enough to know what kind, but it's a friendly, comforting sound to me. Lucky you to have a group right there to greet you each morning! dezertsuz at gmail
ReplyDeleteI love the owls! The stars just add to the nighttime vibe.
