For the Love of Birds

 Created for Project Quilting 15.1 Bird House challenge.

For this challenge, I decided to create some little birdhouses hanging from a branch. I started by making a background, then layered and quilted it.

I sketched a branch on a piece of brown fabric, then added texture by taking assorted fibers and twisting them together and stitching them down. I cut out the branch and stitched it to the background.

I added small birdhouses cut from orphan scraps to give them a quilted look. All the birdhouse holes are hearts because I heard birds really like hearts.

Created by Diane Lapacek, rural Poynette Wisconsin, where the wind is blowing and drifting my LONG driveway in...again.
