I suggest to add the eyes and the embroided details first, then
add the flowen and the branch. When done stuff the body and
sew the body to the ground.

Assembly & Finishes
The plant pot:
Fold the dorder of the pot on row 21 (do not sew o row 21: fold here
yet). With the surface stitch embroider the mom
text vertically between row 11-13, trying to center
it on the heart ( I suggest you to start with te "o"
and then work the "m".

Once the embroidery is done, stuff the pot and

place the cacti with the ground. Use pins to keep
everything in place, then sew the ground (keep
the stitches abobe the fold line so it won't show
once the border is folded).

Sew the felted balls around the edge, keeping a

distance of 3 st(s) among them (I've add them later
but it's better to do it before sewing the border).

Fold the pot border and sew it around the pot, sew
the ground border toghether with the border for
extra reinforcement.
Ta-daaa our Moma Cacti is ready to be gifted!
