Today was break-day before the final Christmas festivities begin. Early my DH and I cleaned the carpet and did the floors then we headed out to an early movie (Sherlock Holmes...very fun) and then dinner. Tonight I rest to get ready for the holiday.
I did stop at the LQS for some thread and to wish them a Merry Christmas. Remember how I was worried about not having enough variety in my black fabrics for my Orca Mystery Quilt...well this yard of fabric should help!
(no it is not a black and white photo...each stripe is about 2-1/2 inches wide. Very useful!)
Two of my Christmas Cactus came into bloom this week. How did I do it...by doing nothing. Some years I've worked really hard at it (no water and weeks with the plants in a closet...) but I didn't get it together this year and what happens. Blooms....go figure!

Merry Christmas to you and your family. I look forward to the new year to see what quilting adventures it has instore for us. Hugs
That's the only cactus I've ever seen actually have blooms on Christmas....mine finished all it's blooms around Dec 1st. :o(
We had our Christmas celebration today because of our daughter's work schedule. So I am free to sew all weekend. Have a wonderful holiday weekend.
What a perfect find in that black striped fabric.
I have been told that the natural shortening of the days will put the cactus into bloom for Christmas, but I always had bright lights on by mine late into the night so it never knew the days had become shorter. : )
Merry Christmas to you and your family...
Christmas Cactus looks good! I have friends that work so hard on making sure they bloom, thats so funny guess they do what they want when they want!
B and W's look great, glad you have enough variety now

have a terrific christmas! i think a christmas cactus does better being ignored, mine always did!
hmm, so are you using that b&w fabric as is, cutting along the "lines" between the "fabrics" or just cutting wildly??? will be interesting to see. merry christmas!!!
