Owls Defeat Octopus: The Great Apron Pattern Contest Winner

Congratulations to Cean Irminger, who wins her third Fabric Of the Week contest with a terrific pattern for an owl apron (with one crafty feline hidden among the birds). Her apron kit beat reigning champ SammyK's Chefalopod, an apron featuring a giant octopus. There were an amazing bunch of designs submitted for this contest, so be sure to give them all a good browsing!
