Owlie

 For this block of our mystery sampler we were given free reign to stitch whatever we wanted to.  At first I was going to do a snail and even started one on a scrap piece of fabric.  It wasn't turning out very well so then I thought an owl would be better.  All of his feathers were done using the woven picot stitch around a needle.  I added some claws around the stem after I took this picture.
Mystery sampler progress:  5 squares completed, 10 left to go.  I'll be putting it aside until after Christmas now :(
