Deecee - sthe story behind the quilt itself is based in Greek mythology, when the Kingfisher appears the farmers know to plant there crops because the appearance means that within fourteen days it will rain. That is why I named the quilt what I did. Interestingly we get them in our garden and it is very often the case that the rain follows in a couple of weeks. In Australia we have huge black cockatoos (parrot type birds) and an old farmer once told me that when the black cockatoos rise and call you will have rain that day, and I always found that to be the case when I lived in the mountains. Deecee probably knows this story too :)
