I sewed the last seam at 10:30 last night. I wasn't sure I was going to get it done. I'll press it today and take it's photo. This is a great close-up quilt. There are so many pretty fabrics to look at.
My sister-in-law gave me an Amaryllis for my birthday earlier this month and it has started to grow. I'm hoping for a bloom at Christmas.
I split a pot with several small red cactus in it into 4 pots a few weeks ago. The first one is blooming now. A second one has one bud and the other 2 parts have no buds.
The largest pot of white cactus has lots of buds and blooms. This one is by the west window.
I was grocery shopping yesterday and the store had a few cactus plants. I'm always looking for a new color. This is one I have never seen before, white petals with pink outlines. Of course it had to come home with me.

I like “a close up quilt” as a category….perfect way to describe it. We will have more rain today but in the 50’s and starting Thursday temperatures start dropping. I was hoping to find a cactus plant or two to bring home before that happens but so far there haven’t been any at the stores I’ve been, which isn’t many, I’ll admit. Probably need to go to Lowe’s or Home Depot. It will be fun to watch your Amaryllis bloom as I know you’ll share great photos.
Good for you getting all those seams sewn!! :)))
The cactus I bought a couple weeks ago that was in bloom has
begun dropping buds [???]--I have no idea why it is doing this....I am hoping for bud setting to begin on my others...Your newest color is so pretty;))))
43 here with rains predicted--so far nothing has fallen from the sky!!

Wow! Love the birds in there too. You get so much done every day I am amazed.
Gorgeous quilt finish and I love your new Christmas cactus! When repotting them, do you find they do better in a clay pot?
I saw some Christmas cactus at the grocery store but I resisted buying one. I just don't have the space for anymore plants. Your plants are looking so pretty!
I’m looking forward to seeing the photo tomorrow of this awesome quilt top. And adding a new plant to your mix of blossoming plants made it an extra special showing.
the Christmas cactus that I bought a couple weeks ago with the white blossoms has been dropping all of it's buds even those that looked close to opening. I was afraid it would do that for some reason. I think I must have had a blossomed plant do that some years ago that I thought it might while it adjusted to the new pot and light
