A Purple Whatsit

The first half of November’s Purple Gallinule is done. Hooray! 

Top piece isn’t attached yet

Maybe the no-interest-in-quilting curse is broken? You know it’s bad when I choose to clean cabinets rather than sew… 

This guy is a ground-feeding omnivore, a species of swamphen. (More here) Those  huge feet look so awkward but they’re great for walking on lily pads. 

Hoping to get the second half done tomorrow. February’s pattern arrived last Thursday (and it’s a BIG one), so I’m once again 3 birds behind. Gotta catch up!
