Not a lot of progress on Butterfly Stars this week, it seems. I’m now almost out of embroidered butterfly hexagons and need to make more stars so will spend a bit of time this weekend on that. This is where it stands right now.
As you can see, Smudge was determined to get in on this picture!
Wednesday night it was bitterly cold here with a wind chill close to -30C. Even though we had the heat turned right up, it was quite chilly in the apartment. I woke up in the middle of the night and piled quilts on top of the duvet again. That makes it very cozy and warm.
This weekend I hope to make the stars for Butterfly Stars and get at least another 12 or 16 butterfly hexagons ready. Whirling Arches blocks are calling to me too — I’d love to get another one of those blocks made and, of course, work on Red Delicious apple cores.
And yet another picture of Lester in his kitty bed.

Cathi, I love to see the progress that you are making on the little stars. I have been working on a little star quilt for several years. When my mother was searching for something at her house, she came upon this litle box of stars joined by white diamonds. She had started these little stars when she was 16 and grew tired of the littleness of the stars so it was folded away for many years ( Mom was 80 when she passed this project on to me. )Someday, I will finish the project that was started soooooo many years ago. It is fun to look at and know that my stitches are there with my moms and my grandmothers.Stay warm and have a great weekend.Hugs, Barb

I love those stars!!Lester looks so cosy in his bed.Do they ever sleep in your bed, or do they stay in their own beds, when it is so cold? I cant imagine a wind chill of -30!!

Your quilt is coming along wonderfully. I know you have it laid out on a towel or something. . is that a color you are thinking about for the border? If so, I think it works extremely well.
