Griffin Wings

Yesterday we walked to the post office. It was hotter than I had thought, so I bribed the girls with a promise of snacks at one of the corner stores that are all over the neighborhood. Armed with cans of pop and chips, we took a short break on the steps of St. Colman's, where Miranda was able to visit with one of the giant stone griffins that guard the entrance. She wanted to know if I could make a stuffed griffin, and then thought maybe wings for one of her lions to wear would be better--which I thought was a really great idea (and far easier than making an entire toy)

They are made from muslin, lightly stuffed with polyfil and machine quilted. I am not too happy with the feather pattern--not sure what I was trying to do. I probably should have put some sort of wire along the edges to stiffen them, they are floppie than I wanted. But Miranda was happy with them.
