Sorry I have missed a few days. I had to have an emergency root canal and things didn't go so well. I am better now and hope to stop the pain meds at the same time I stop the antibiotics.
Martha Wolfe does wonderful bird quilts, including this one with the New Zealand bird, Pukeko. Martha was in NZ early this year for a Quilt Symposium and enjoyed some sightseeing. She says that the wildlife was elusive, but the pukeko could sometimes be spotted scavenging in the fields. This bird is in the same family as our coot (sometimes called mud hen) and the purple gallinule found in Florida.

I can see him/her running over the leaves! Wonderful movement!
I hope you get feeling better quickly, Del. like Loretta said, great movement in this one!
I'm sorry to hear about your root canal. I hope you feel better soon. The Pukeko quilt is beautiful. Since I visited New Zealand last December I have been in love with all of that country's flora and fauna. Have you been there? It's such a wonderful place. I hope to go back soon, and luckily for me, my husband & I have dear friends who live there who we can stay with.
Love Martha's quilt. A great addition to your collection. Get well soon!
Thanks for supporting SAQA and sharing my work, Del! It was nice to meet you in Portland. I hope you are feeling much better soon!

So sorry to hear of your emergency root canal. They are no picnic. I hope you are done with meds now and and right as rain.
Glad your neighborhood trees dodged the chainsaw.
