On my design wall this week are some on-going projects . . . continuing my efforts this year of decreasing the number of UFO/WIP and PIGs hanging around.
** Cactus in the Cabin blocks.
One test block is completely done to make sure I understood the instructions correctly. The first 2 green strips have been added to the other 19 center units, and the corners are on some of them.
** Bad Kitty pillow cover for Halloween
I need to do some applique stitching on this pillow, and then find something to use for the backing. It's about 18" square.
** Add borders to 2025 Saturday Sampler
On Saturday morning I attended the reveal party for this year's Saturday Sampler. There were 27 finished quilts and flimsies shown that morning. Mine is OK but there were some absolutely stunning versions there! And a lost of ladies added borders, which made me decide to do the same. Sometime this week I'll show some of the photos I took of the other quilts that caught my eye.
** Sew another set of blocks into rows
These are scrappy Potato Chip blocks (Mount Scrapmore pattern) and I only needed one more block, which I made this weekend. This will be a donation quilt. I have a small bin FULL of pieces cut for more blocks, and there is a skirt hanger in the closet with a few more blocks with the colors arranged differently. Seed for another scrappy quilt, right?
As for hand stitching this week I have plenty of brown binding to work on - 2 placemats and granddaughter Sophia's lap quilt she made.
This is more than enough to keep me busy this week.

The Cactus in the Cabin block is bold and beautiful. Those colors just sing. Looks like you've got lots of fun projects to work on this week.
As long as that small bin does not get dumped into that big gray tote . . .
You remind me I have more chips cut somewhere and I should do another of those this winter. I like that you alternated the light and darks. Have a great week Sara!
