Flowering Cactus

Look what I found on my Cactus last night. The one on the left is in full bloom, the one on the right is as it was opening.

I have been told this is a Echinopsis Eyresii. Commenly referred to as the Pink Easter Lily Cactus.

It is a beautiful flower but the bloom only last one night. I brought it indoors so it may last an extra day. I h ave had this plant for a long time and has bloomed once every year for the past ten years

Summer Flowers

I have not had much time to sew this week so I will share some picturs of my flowers that are in bloom.

My lillies have done very well this year.

Toiletrie Pouch "Sew Along"

Just finished part four of the "Sew Along" The Toiletrie Pouch will go with the bag I finished last week. Stay tuned for part five next week.

Sew Along Project

I am doing the Make a Bag Sew Along project that Kelly is doing at http://kellyrachel.com/blog/2010/05/25/make-a-bag-sew-along-introduction/

I just finished part three which completed the bag. I used charm squares, "Californ" by Mark Lipinski.

Look at what I won.

The Missouri River Quilt Guild held a quilt show this weekend. I am a member of this guild and I must say it was a lot of work but a REALLY BIG show. We had 301 quilts on display. We received a lot of positive comments about the quilts and displays. We had members donate gift baskets etc for a raffle drawing. Guess what? I was the lucky winner of a very nice chair painted by one of our very talented members.

I LOVE IT...

I may post more pictures in a few days.
