Stitch this exotic, tropical cactus so you can admire the flowers that only bloom for one night all year long. You will learn how to do a braided chain, hopper, woven cactus stem, bullion loops with tiny bites, corded buttonhole, faggoting, and my own technique for a star-crossed drizzle, a variation of Rosalie Wakefield’s star-crossed drizzle stitch. Other stitches you are expected to know are straight, lazy daisy, running bullions, satin, stem, and turkey.
