Time has such a way of getting away from us, doesn’t it?
Between the holidays and the beginning of tax season, I have found myself almost too busy to get any sewing done. I work as an accountant, and between January and mid-April, we get to run through the gauntlet a little bit. Due to the excessive business, I haven’t been able to work on any of my little side projects at all. Any snippets of time I’ve managed to grab have been devoted to my best friend’s graduation gift.
My best friend and I have known each other since we were quite young but became close in college. She is an incredibly bright woman who loves the outdoors and is a little wild, so I was not at all surprised when she wanted a succulent/cactus quilt as a graduation gift. Finding the pattern was a pain, but they are so cute!
The quilt is going to get a whole lot funkier as it progresses, but I am close to finishing a dozen cactuses that I need for that particular element of her gift. While I wish I had a little more time to sew right now, I am glad I get to spend the time that I do have on something so cute!
Once I have more of the quilt done I will post the pattern that I got off of Etsy for anyone who also wants to make these charming little cactuses!
