crowing about my sister








This is Margie's hand-embroidered rooster for the quilt she and my sisters, mom, sisters-in-law, neices and nephews (one of my brothers cross-stitched for the cause, too) made for my son Bruno. Margie is the most meticulous and inventive handworker I know. She made this little hand-knotted masterpiece for Elio.
