BABS BANTER/QUILTECH

Saturday, May 30, 2009

'ere - this is a bit of alright . . . home sweet home . . . and not a pigeon in sight!

This contraption is not a trap but a means of allowing our 2 gentle doves to eat - whilst keeping greedy pigeons out. Blackbirds, starlings and squirrels have now found a way in the gap at the back. Poor doves can't win.

About Me

My photo
Babs Banter/QUILTECH
Am primitive cook. Enjoy quilting/appliqué but seeking to break out of my comfort zone - starting with feathers aka Patsy Thompson.. Like gardening, studying birds, drawing. Relaxing and pottering about are high on my agenda. Love music, play the ukulele and sing my heart out with local choirs.
