Like many of you, we got some snow for Halloween.
Well, it's better than looking at a sepia-tone landscape.
It didn't last, but I still had to make a flaky friend.
It wasn't easy as the snow was very wet. My new friend 2023, lol.
Anywho!
Sewing a little here and there moves things along.
Irish Chain Star is a top. Yay!
All borders are attached.
Lorraine asked where to find this pattern. (Lorraine, you are a no-reply comment. I hope you visit my blog often enough to get this information. Enjoy!) I found the pattern on the Wedding Dress Blue blog.
While finishing Irish Star, my leader-ender project was to sew little bits of brown to make "yardage". I'm not close to a finished scrap basket, but it is a start.
I got a few stitches in Ohio Star Shadow.
The two light blue blocks are done, meaning the centre is all quilted. I am now working on the split Ohio Star in brown. Only 72 blocks to go.
Raven feels the cold coming. He is growing himself a winter coat.
I have a hard time taking nice pictures of him because he always comes to me when he sees me.
That's all for now. I have lots of mending to do next week. (Yuck!) I'll be happy when it is all done.
Whatever you do, enjoy it! ;^)

Yay for the Irish Star finish, such scrappy goodness. Ugh for the snow. We've only had a few flurries, but it's been grey, gloomy and chilly. Your cat looks like he's stalking you.

Your Irish Star is gorgeous! Love it.
Haha, I had the same problem with the cat we had in France, she would always make a beeline straight for me when I pointed the camera her way. xx
LOve those stars! Such a magnificent cat in his winter coat.
The Irish Chain Stars is a stunning one. Love the scrappy look.
Goodness gracious, Raven is fluffy!

Your Irish Chain Star quilt is just gorgeous, Chantal! You know I love all thar scrappy color. Pretty snow view out your window, too. Have fun stitching up those crumb blocks - I might do a little of that this afternoon, too!
Bravo pour avoir terminé le top de Irish Chain Star, il est lumineux et joyeux ! Parfait pour ce temps hivernal ;) Tes autres projets avancent bien aussi.
Merci pour le partage !
Your Irish Chain Star is beautiful! Thanks for including the link. . .I think I may "need" to start one of these! While I like the beauty of new fallen snow, I'd much rather enjoy a spring or summer rain. I love Raven's mantra. . .
