She Does Stitch!
August has been a very busy month for me, so in addition to not blogging a whole lot, I didn’t stitch a whole lot either! However as it was next up in my rotation, I recently worked on “Four Seasons Cats.”
As you may remember, it was my original plan to stitch each cat during its respective season. Earlier this summer I completed the border for the summer cat, but when this piece came back around in my rotation last week I didn’t want to work on the summer cat. Instead, I wanted to finish the borders so that eventually I can work on any cat I choose.
Since I am starting to get in the mood for autumn, for this round of my rotation I decided to stitch the border for the fall cat. I have to admit that I was concerned that the oranges of the pumpkins might be too bright when I pulled them out of the bobbin box, but stitched together they turned out quite nicely.
8.5 hours (or 11.5 if you count the 3 hours of frogging I had to do when I was ¾ of the way done with the border and realized it was off two stitches) later and the fall cat border is done. Next up in the rotation… “Poet’s Heart.”

Those pumpkins in the border are adorable. I am looking forward to seeing the kitty that lives there.
