This is the baby quilt at the beginning of the week. My goal is to have all of row 3 of the butterfly stitchery hexagons and the stars surrounding the bottom of them added by the end of this week. Then I’m right on track for having the piecing completed by mid-February.

It was bitterly cold here on Monday. It appears, from the forecast, that we’ve got 3 or 4 more days of this cold snap and then it starts to warm up. I’m hoping that this is it and that the rest of the winter will be a bit more temperate. I always think once we get through January that we’re through the worst of it. February is a short month and then we’re into March, which means warmer weather can’t be too far off. I hope.
Lester is happy in his favourite spot on the windowsill.
As is Smudge, curled up. Smudge got a very shaggy winter coat this year. Much more so than previous years, I think. I hope that’s not a sign that I’m way off in my hopes that this is the last cold snap of the winter.


Love how the quilt is shaping up. Your boys are more gorgeous with each photoLove and hugs Gina xxx

my apologies Cathi, for not telling you I was linking back to your blog on my post today…….I do admire your work though, and people can learn so much from your blog. Did you check out Leah’s work, she is a very accomplished quilter, and all self taught. I also linked back to her blog on that post.Gill
