    Default Cactus wallhanging

    The flowering cactus were from the row by row last summer from the Cactus Quilt Shop. The rest was my own idea...

    I love it, you did good! It looks like it's 3 dimensional.

    The flowers were circles folded in half, then in thirds and tucked behind the cactus leaf and stitched. I did use a little elmers on the flowers when I was making them. Made it a lot easier to keep them together.

    Love the 3D affect of the cactus and your vases are just so realistic.

    I'm a huge cactus fan and love the little Kokopelli figures in the vase
