For some reason I never seem to have posted photos of this lovely pincushion made by Andrea. It's quite large, as you can see by the number of pins. I'm guessing 8-10 inches across, because I'm too lazy to measure.
Each owl was painstakingly hand made, you can find many of these across the interwebs. It's basically made of two cathedral-shaped pieces of fabric. You could also describe them as being similar to the shape of an iron. One is larger than the other by about 20%-30%. You sew the side of one to the same side of the other, until you reach the top of the smaller piece. Do the same for the other side, which will leave a gap at the top.Sew those two edges together and turn.
Fold the top bit down to form the owl's beak and stuff the body. Tack the beak down, add some eyes, Andrea created teeny-tiny yo-yos for these guys. Add details as you like, buttons for pupils, etc.
She did such a beautiful job, and no, you can't have it. It's MINE! :)

I remember when Andrea showed this to me, it is to cute! I tried to talk her out of it, but she had her heart set on giving it to you.
i truly think it is a thoughtful gift, hard work went into it.
I have a baby one of these, that I too received from someone else....and I wouldn't part with mine for love nor money either!
Hoot Hoot
