Looking for a home...
Continuing the cat theme, February’s free design dates from several years ago, when I was experimenting with various ways of representing fur in embroidery. I did a large series of semi-realistic cats, but this one, I think, was the best of them. You may need to experiment to get the colours right. The various browns and beiges should blend well together, but shouldn’t be too similar, otherwise you won’t get the furry, stripy effect. There are a lot of jump stitches on the whiskers – it was necessary to do them like this to keep them very thin and fine, the way a kitten’s whiskers should be!
If you’d like to try the kitten just drop a comment to the blog asking for it, and I’ll send it out. It’s for the 4x4 (100 x 100mm) hoop
The kitty is adorable and I would love to have her.

I have two Tabby boys and one feral Tabby who lives on my front porch. They remind me of your cute design - which I would love to have.
Thanks so much.

Oh my!!! I am typically allergic to kitties, but this little precious darling is just perfect for me. What sort of cat food does he prefer? I will have a bag ready for him by the time he arrives in my inbox!

I would love to have this kitty. I recently lost Wizard whom I had for 10 years, but he was overweight and had some health problems. I have another cat name Percy, she is about the same age, and she brings me joy.

This is adorable. People in my house would love a kitty like this - but unfortunately my allergies prevent it.
I would love to stitch this kitty out - I'm sure my allergies can take that.

I would love to give this kitty a home, since I can't have a real one since I rent. Beautiful!

Your kitty is spectacular and her coloring is so realistic . Your background fabric is fabulous as always. Do you think a variegated thread would work well for the brown fur? Would love to have your kitty!
Thanks!
