Hello Friends,
I’ve just returned from a weekend away in the wheatbelt town of Dowerin with some of my stitching girlfriends. We had a wonderful time – stitching, eating, stitching, drinking wine, stitching, laughing and stitching some more.
Beware of Cat / Lizzie Kate
Here’s the only finish I had over the weekend: Beware of Cat by Lizzie Kate. This is a retired Pocketbook Kit (included the fabric and button). I’ve had this as a work in progress for a long time – so I’m glad to have finally finished it!
Spot Sampler Mystery / Stickideen von der Wiehenburg
Whilst we were away I also got to work on some of my long standing WIPs. Here’s my progress on the Spot Sampler Mystery by Stickideen von der Wiehenburg (now published as Spot Sampler Patricia). I have been stitching on it quite a bit since I finished Mary Thompson. Here’s a link to the last post featuring a photo of my progress on this piece.
Countdown to Christmas / Blue Ribbon Designs
I also pulled out Countdown to Christmas by Blue Ribbon Designs and finished the right hand side of the top panel. To complete this section, I just need to complete the row of flowers beneath the text and finish stitching the bottom row of the outside edge. Then there’s the rest of the frame to do (oh, joy!)
Felix (Emperor Meow) draped in the Purple Spot Sampler
Whilst I was taking the photo of the Countdown to Christmas, I had draped the purple mystery spot over my stitching chair instead of putting it away in my WIP basket, imagine my combined horror and amusement when I turned around to behold the sight in the photo above. Mr F cat had found away to drape the spot sampler over his shoulders in a very regal fashion! I couldn’t chose between this photo and the one that follows so I have included them both. I think that the Beware of Cat finish was timed exactly right!!
Felix again, such a cute (and very naughty) boy
Felix is definitely a gorgeous boy! Your stitching is gorgeous too.
Your stitching is lovely! i especially love the spot sampler.
Felex is gorgeous, a very handsome boy!
Oh I just had a stitching weekend away last weekend too! What fun! Your stitching is gorgeous — love that spot sampler! And the Beware of Cat piece — totally appropriate for Mr. Felix. lol! They know just what to do to gain attention, don’t they?
Love your stitched cat and how about that real one. He looks so regal. Glad you enjoyed your stitching weekend.
You have some really great samplers going on here! I am loving them!
Your stitching is beautiful, but Felix really steals the show… ;o)
Felix is fabulous!
Your kitty looks very content with your piece draped over him. Beautiful process on that piece. I like her samplers quite a bit. Great progress on your other things too.
Some great progress, I especially like your Spot Sampler, such lovely colours.
Ha Ha, it looks like Felix is saying ‘this is for me, right?’
Beware of cat indeed! cute finish and your spot sampler is looking gorgeous – the colours are lovely
Your pumpkin finish is absolutely adorable!! And your WIP’s are so beautiful!
Your kitty looks very handsome and content
Happy Stitching!
Lol at your cat! Your WIPs are fantastic, and congrats on the LK finish, it’s very cute!
A great finish and lovely WIPs. Felix looks very ‘at home’ under the stitching! LOL.
Wonderful pics of Felix!
Very cute finish and great progress on your WIP. Great photos of Felix!
Wow! All of your pieces look wonderful. A very regal kitty indeed…and what a handsome boy!
Awww, so nice of Felix to help you show off your needlework. He is obviously very proud.
Either that or trying to get your attention squarely on him & NOT on the needlework!
Lovely finish, and fab progress on your WIP! I’m glad you enjoyed your weekend away.
Lol Felix looks very proud of your sampler
Beware of the cat is very cute, congratulations. Great progress on your other wips. Glad you had a great weekend
I’m always wondering if my pups would take any interests in my stitching as I often just lay what I’m working on down for a few minutes to do something else. Felix DOES look quite regal. I’m glad that it’s not been damaged!
Beautiful finish and I am loving your spot sampler!
Wow the wips are great! You have done so much over the weekend. Your cat look svery comfy there with his new “blanket” haha. xx
