Christmas Cactus

I have a friend who moved at the end of September, lots of things came my way. It didn't look like this when it was rescued but I saw potential.

Among the various things was a Christmas cactus or an Easter cactus depending (I think) on when it decides to bloom. Well I have a Christmas cactus....should be in full riotous bloom by the appointed time.  It sure gives off a lot of happy  :))
Happy Sunday.

It wasn't what I expected

I had a vacation, visiting with my Mom, who lives in the Pacific Northwest.  This is a picture of how the days looked.  This  is a coloured picture....

There was one sunny moment, that I went for a short walk, it is in the 'country' making for hazardous walking...especially for this gal who has an iffy ankle.

Oh well...as Mom says what can you do?!
On my return I had the pleasure of quilting a really sweet little quilt.  Pictures were taken outside, so that plus the busy pattern does not show the quilting from the front.  However.....

I did a version of the floral and a squiggle through the chain. 

It is a William Morris print done in Kaffe Fassett colours....yummy.

Pictures

I have a few pictures of work finished since my last post.  Pictures don't do this one justice, lovely colours and piecing. The client wanted  'simple and old fashion', so SID with a
floral treatment in the border was what was decided.

I should probably check if the auto focus is on (grin)....but  you get the picture (no pun here).

Starry Starry Night

I believe this is a shadow box quilt, it is to be a gift for a young grandson.  It was just a charm to quilt.
Yes, I do believe I have taken the photo sideways, but I didn't want it dragging on the deck, and then I forgot to rotate the picture.  Hopefully you'll get the picture.(grin)

 What 10 year old won't love this one?

A simple meander with a star.
