Yvonne at Quilting Jetgirl is having another party and I’m coming.
But first, I have to satisfy a few requirements: 1. Review how well I’ve accomplished last year’s goals. 2. Think about what I want to accomplish with my blog and quilting next year. 3. Write about those goals. 4. Link up to the party. 5. Work on my goals. The first four are easy; the last finds life sometimes getting in the way which was quite evident for 2017.
Wendy of Pieceful Thoughts of My Quilting Life has named each of the decorated cacti I previously featured. You’ll find their cute name and a clever little description of them in the comment section of each post. Go check them out. I wonder what she’ll name this one.
Finally, we got a cloudy day so I could get some good pics. Otherwise, I’d need a huge sunshade..
There’s not much for wind around here this time of year. Can you tell?
They have to be careful putting that hat on and taking it off. No need to worry about snow getting on it, though.

This Saguaro needs a little support during this busy time of year but that’s not stopping his Christmas spirit.
This is our little cactus sporting his new hat. He’s about 12 inches tall.
Some ideas just have to percolate for awhile. That’s the way it was with my snowflake.
This pattern was designed by Vanda from Quilt in Piece and can be downloaded here free through January 15, 2018; don’t delay, download yours today.
I wasn’t sure how to proceed. Should I make a white snowflake on a red background or a gray one? Should I make a gray snowflake on a white background or a red one? Where should I add some ric rac? I asked my husband; no help there. I asked my quilting group friends; some said use the red background while others said use the gray background.
And now it’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas in my house. Tu-Na Helper is very excited that I’ve started baking.
In fact, there’s lots of sweets being prepared across blogland this week. Today’s list of participating blogs for the Virtual Cookie Exchange is at the end of my post. Thank you Carol of Just Let Me Quilt for arranging another great blog hop.
Before there were electric lights, piles of wax held candles on the branches of Christmas trees. Once they were all lit the tree was ablaze with light. Literally, many Christmas trees and homes burned to the ground because of this practice. You’ll be relieved to know that this block will light up your quilt the modern way.
