This pattern for wool applique but you could certainly do it in batiks. 14 little birds are in community sitting out on the limbs of a tree. Are they watching, conversing, or having a hen party? Who knows. The pattern has instructions to incorporate both wool and cotton to make the background for this project.  This pattern has a full sized layout template and includes suggestions for decorative stitches. Use your imagination, decorative threads and beads to make this uniquely yours.
