You have completed section 16
We have two more weeks together now. Only six more rounds to go. We have made it through Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's together. A lot of holidays and time when you stop to think about it.
Next week we will finish up the puff/feather section. Your Bubo will then have a nice weight around the edges.
As always, please take a moment to stitch in all your ends and take a few pretty pictures.
