Collect all of Cathy Jean's ‘Button-up Birdies’, and by Christmas your Tree will be covered with these adorable ornaments! The 16th in the series, the Baltimore Oriole is so bright and colourful! You can find them in your back yard if you live in Eastern North America, Mexico or South America in winter. They love open woodland where you can hear their beloved familiar sound all during summer. The Barn Swallow also has beautiful blue and tan coloured feathers, and they can be found almost all over the world! These birdies are so cute and colourful, you can't help but imagine them all in your small Christmas tree. All Button-up Birdie ornaments are quick and easy to stitch so you can use them for other gifts as well. They are designed with gentle overdyed cottons and many different silks in soft shades. Stitch all 16 and use them in a quilt or wall hanging! Finish the way you see, or use your own imagination!
Collect and enjoy your Aviary Tree this Christmas!
