Happy fabric ATC Cactus Monday!!!
These ATC's were made on Saturday by my friend and I, after a bunch of us going out for lunch, and thrift shopping. As we left the thrift store it started raining heavily with lightning and thunder claps! We headed straight home to my house. We decided to try our hand at some fabric ATC's. I have a sewing machine, but hate using it. We decided to do hand sewing, and in a primative style. I had some remnant jean material, and many remnants of cotton fabric. We talked and talked till we came up with our plan. We both did cactus. She drew out a saguaro cactus design, and I used a prickly pear one. From there, you can see what we ended up with! I used the sewing machine only to zigzag the edges. I think they turned out adorably! Hope everyone has a happy Cactus Monday!

Hot cactus nights really sizzles!!!!! LOVE! What a fun girlfriend thing to do! HCM!
Those fabric cactus ATC's are really cute. I love the little stars and flower details and especially the hand stitching.
They came out pretty nice. But isn't fabric cacti a bit of cheating for Cactus Monday? :0)
