Big "bubble" eyes have a way of making animals--whether large or small--just so darn appealing. This week, we have two easy projects ideal for those on your last-minute holiday gift list.
Do you know a little one who's afraid of the dark? (WHO-O-O wouldn't want another cuddly companion to keep close?) This friendly night owl is the perfect plush pal. Use the child's favorite fabrics and colors to create a whole nest of unique buddies that he or she is sure to give a hoot about! Check out this kid-friendly project at Bernina's Sewing Republic. (Wait just a second after clicking, the project will come up automatically.)
Then, surprise a quilter with a clever needlecase project designed by Nancy S. Brown (Episode 701), featuring the very fashionable penguin shown here.
