Birdbath - Tina's Fabric Nook

This quilt block shows a patch of grass at the bottom indicated by a dark green fabric cut with a jagged edge pointing up. The grass is outlined with a yellow stitching. To the left is a small birdbath. It's a simple tan cone with a small bowl at the top to make the bath. On top of the bowl, and about half as big as it, is a red bird. It is made up of duotone polka dotted red fabric. There is a similar bird mid-flight coming to rest on the other side of the birdbath. This is all against a blue salmon-patterned background.

The scale is appropriate and fits in nicely. It also attracts the smaller birds, even hummingbirds. The young man who lives here keeps it super clean and consequently the birds flock here.

This quilt block shows a golden bird bath with a little bird on it. This is against a blue salmon-patterned background. The birdbath has a wide circular base, a cylinder support, and then a large concave half globe holding a bit of water. The bird is a deeper orange with dark tan tail feathres. The birdbath is outlined by dark stitches and light stitches, and has a bit of pen indicating water.

If birds have access to water they will take 2 or 3 baths a day. They bathe to clean themselves of parasites, ticks, lice, mites and fleas that can eat their feathers and cause infections and disease.
