"Molly the Owl" Quilt and Some Background Info

Carlos and Donna Royal put up an owl box in their backyard... A beautiful barn owl and her mate made the box their first "clutch" home. These two owls named Molly and McGee brought 14,000,000 people together from 50 countries via streaming video. They learned, laughed, and cried while watching 24/7. From the first laid egg to fledge the world got to witness this miracle of nature first hand.

Quilters from all over the U.S. and Canada sent quilt blocks to be incorporated into this quilt to make a special "thank you" to the Royals. This is a "A Quilter's Labor of Love" aka "The Molly Quilt."

This is Lin Las Lima's wonderful account of Molly the owl and her clutch. Since then Molly is tending to her second clutch which can be seen at www.ustream.tv/theowlbox2
