When I bought the Cacti at W*l-M*rt a couple years ago, there were buds on every one of the little fingers at the ends. This year I have double buds on some of them.
Here is another, closer to blooming than the first one.
I have listed some quilt TOPS on my Wandaful blog shop (link on right sidebar). I sold several tops a few years ago and I think it is time to sell some more. I know there are people out there who don't care to piece but love to quilt. I have them priced at cost of fabric plus less than minimum wage for piecing them. I can provide backings at a reasonable price for some of them too, just ask. I will add a few more later today or tomorrow. I think anyone who has ever purchased one from me before can verify that my tops are nice and flat and pressed well during and after construction. With the health scare I'm going through right now I need to de-stress my life a little.
