Cutting and sewing parts............

I pulled some yardage to cut more triangles for the Bear Paw blocks.  I have all of my parts sitting on top of a plastic lid.






I had to decide whether to sew the 2 blocks that were ready or sew more triangles into squares.  I decided to do the triangles and this pile is enough for 4 1/2 blocks.




After I sewed the triangles I laid out one of the blocks to sew today.  I hope to sew at least 2 blocks and if it is a good day, maybe 4 blocks.







The red cactus is blooming.  The red ones used to bloom closer to Christmas but this year they decided to bloom before Thanksgiving.  I think I only have 2 that don't have buds on them yet and I don't remember what color they are.


They are just so pretty.  I love my indoor garden.

What a wonderful piles of pieces and parts! There are a lot of pieces in that block so I can imagine it takes an hour or two just to sew a block together. The red cactus is so pretty!

I am really liking those bear paw blocks. I've been wanting to make one for a while. It' on the very long list. ;) Enjoy seeing your interior and exterior plant landscapes! You are the master with those Christmas cacti. Mine - bleh!

I have a red and a pink cactus starting to bloom but only on one side. The sit on a room divider and the west side gets more light, so they bloom earlier on that side. Also see buds starting on several others.
