Cosmic Cactus Pillow - Tester Parade
The Cosmic Cactus pattern testers have been awesome! They have helped me refine my pattern and created a pillow in their own unique style.

I hope these amazing pillows inspire you to create your own unique version. Thank you to all my testers for helping me! Don’t forget to check them out on Instagram and give them some love!
