I\u2019m taking part in Jo\u2019s People\u2019s Choice this month to highlight pet themed stitching. For me, that means cats. <\/p>\n\n\n

Here is Kiwi, my last dear old kitty who died a couple years ago now at age 19! She lives on in my heart!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Although I don\u2019t have any pets at the moment, until recently I had cats my whole life, and before children I also went through a period of serious fish-keeping. But I learned that aquarium fish are more a hobby than a pet, and if I were to have another pet I\u2019d pick more cats! I don’t believe I’ve ever stitched a fish. Hmmm. May have to change that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have stitched a few cats in honor of my dear old cats over the years, I have this Mill Hill cat for instance\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n

And Leaping cat from La D Da. I am partial to orange cats because of Kiwi!<\/p>\n\n\n

I also enjoyed stitching cats on these Drawn Thread designs because they remind me of my first cat when I was a girl, Minou, who was gray. I do like a good gray tabby with a white bib!<\/p>\n\n\n

I changed the dogs to cats on the Pink Sparrow Sampler by Brenda Gervais. These are calico or tortoise shell kitties I guess. I really do like this sampler with cats.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Another little “cat and birds” project is this sweet pillow from Chessie and Me. I do think the Chessie and Me cats are sweet. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n

I have one more by her, and was glad to have pets be the theme this month because it reminded me my plan to finish this other Chessie and Me project: <\/p>\n\n\n

\n

My plan was to stitch the same design in reverse with an orange tabby and make it into a needlebook. I guess I know what I’m doing for my small this month!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you Jo, for hosting People’s Choice! Head back to Serendipitous Stitching<\/a> to see more pet inspired stitching!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
