"I just thought I'd update you on where things stand. I found the Overture for the border a bit difficult to find - it seems not many shops carry it anymore. It gave me a chance to speak on the phone with a number of shops I've heard of but not done any business with. One was the Scarlet Thread. Do I remember that it is one of your 'somewhat local' shops? I do have a couple of cards on special order, so all the border threads should be here before long. (PFOS is sending all the others.)
I got the brown triangles at the base of the tail done and the two brown borders around the outside of the tail done last night. Today I did the foot in two strands of Burmilana with one strand of Flair. I think it looks quite nice, if different from the painted foot. I may add some backstitching.
We've warmed up to 11 degrees now! But the sun is out so it just feels better. The snow blew and drifted, but we were lucky it didn't drift on our driveway. I only had to shovel a path to the bird feeders and the front door.
I hope the winter weather is treating your area with some respect. And that the dogs take nice, long naps!
Thank you again for all the time you spent consulting on this canvas. I will try to keep you posted on my progress (it will keep me accountable!)."

Thanks a lot for the update. The Mary Lake Thompson turkey canvas and fowl canvases in general have lots of fans.
