Anne's Big Cats - Update 21 February

Post by Jewell Stitcher »

Hello everyone. I have started Big Cats by Tilton Crafts (Alba). This is what I hope it will eventually look like :D

Here is how far I have got after one week of stitching:

Doesn't look like much but there are 57 colours in that little bit. I'm really enjoying watching this grow.

I'm a sucker for cats, big or small. The picture will be remarkable when finished. As for 57 colours in that small area - wow. But you seem to be coping well, and the stitches are all even & beautifully sized.

Keep it up, & let us see your progress as you get along.

Regards,

Richard.

57 colours in that little patch so far is amazing work! Hope the rest of the project stitches up just as speedily. :)

Oh my, what a beautiful project you have chosen, it is just GREAT. Look forward to seeing this as you progress. It will be sunning once you have completed it. Well done for taking on such a fantastic project on black, but those other colours will show up really well on that colour cloth. :whoop: :applesauce: :D
