Cacti and Cat on a Blanket!

On Saturday we went out garage sailing (sale-ing) and we visited this home with some beautiful cacti in their front yard. I thought, how appropriate for Cactus Monday, which I haven't participated in in quite a while. Each one of these were new to me... How interesting this white furry one is on the left. I may actually have a smaller version of the one on the right...or something quite similar... On Saturday I just about got the top of the Festival Quilt done; and Henry V really does think I am making it for him. He claimed territory every chance he got...including diving underneath it and scratching me (I am sure unintentionally) twice attacking my hands holding up ends trying to get it to my sewing machine to add this green border.
On Sunday I did lots more, which I'll show you in another post soon. Henry V, King of the Festival Quilt
Happy Cactus Monday!

  1. This quilt is very pretty, Lynn. I have been reading about how busy you've been. You are such a dervish that I don't see how you can keep up with yourself. All your quilts are fantastic. Don't forget to slow down and rest once in a while.
