Tuesday's Turkey and Quail Couple

Here's a Thanksgiving design from my Cross Stitch Archives.

Design - "Tall Turkey" (kit)
Designer - Heart in Hand
Fabric - 32 count Tobacco linen
Started - 22 November 2001
Completed - 25 November 2001

The tobacco linen really makes this design pop!


Parvati decided to go into the pantry with me and found a box calling her name.

On Sunday I counted 44 California Quail in the backyard.
A couple of males.

A plump young female.

I think someone is interested!

Maybe they are siblings.

At this point she is playing hard to get!

  1. Such a cute finish from your archives, Beth! Are the quail always that plump? They look so round that they could just roll away with a strong wind :) What great photos...

  6. Love your quail shots. They look so pompous and full of themselves. I have never seen qail as big as this. Ours are smaller I think. Interesting birds.
