Cactus Love Embroidery (Download the Pattern) – A Beautiful Mess

Hello! Sarah of Sarah K. Benning Studios here to share a fun and (relatively) simple DIY embroidery project with you! I am a contemporary embroidery artist dedicated to creating original stitched works of art, writing monthly designs for my #SKBDIY Pattern Program, and sharing my knowledge through workshops and tutorials. I want to fill you in on my stitching philosophy: I believe embroidery—and really all DIY craft projects—should be fun and fulfilling. Seems pretty obvious. But embroidery is often entrenched in tradition, picky techniques and rules, and a perception that it is a musty old granny craft dedicated to dancing angels and stiff florals. SO NOT TRUE!
