This is my block for the second month - a non-fiction book, with a focus on one element. I am a bird lover, so a bird book was an easy choice for me. The bird I chose to focus on is the painted bunting, which I host in my back yard every year from October through April. I used batiks for the bird, and linen for the background – all of which I had in my stash. That’s not to say I haven’t bought other fabric for this block-of-the-month project!
