Little Kagu depicts a sweet little bird from New Caledonia that is very endangered. He is hand-embroidered on a vintage quilt top that was made in the 1940s or earlier. The fragility of vintage quilts, and the fact that when this quilt was made the Kagu population was in better shape, speaks to their current plight.
