Ducky, I completely understand. I too love cardinals, but we don't have them here either. I grew up in the midwest where there were so many...even had bluejays which we don't have here in the valley either, they are up in the mountains, but alas, no cardinals..
I love this design too! I have it, but haven't stitched it out. :oops: You and your brother sound like ya'll have a good time together...
