Today my little treasure is this kookaburra that belonged to my Dad. I don't know how old it is but has been around for as long as I can remember. I actually saved this little treasure from being thrown away a long long time ago. Dad tells me that at one stage the beek was broken of and that he used his spit to glue it back on and it is still there to this day. Now can you believe that???
Oops the photo is sideways. Finished the binding so another quilt finished. I am slowly getting through them but often get diverted to do other things I find along the way.
Like this cute owl family. At my patchwork group over the past few Tuesday evenings some members have been bringing in their owls either handmade or purchased so I wanted to join in on the fun. This was a Japanese pattern I found on the net after googling fabric owls.

I just love your kookaburra. I've got one which is similar - I might show it one Tuesday myself. Congratulations on the finishes. Lovely quilt and the owls are very very cute.
Your kookaburra is lovely - a piece of wonderful australian art (I especially love the way your dad fixed it!!) The quilt has come out so nicely.... and the owls are so sweet - I have them on my 'wish list to do" ...
