WIP, Durene Jones "Cat Cushion"

[dianec42]

My current WIP. From the World of Cross Stitching magazine, issue 276, January 2019. Click the thumbnail to embiggen.



I am really enjoying this one, except for the part where the magazine's editors decided the design should be split across THREE(!) pages, including splitting some elaborate backstitch. Technology to the rescue, I have a scanner and I was able to mostly line things up in Paint.net, but I really hate it when they do that.

There will ultimately be 6 kitties. As soon as I saw the "Coming next issue" in December I knew I had to do this one. The cats look exactly like my boy Findo, and I am a sucker for anything with psychedelic colours and/or heavy black outlines for a stained-glass (or wrought-iron) look.

That looks great! You will love yourself for doing the detail work as you go rather than all of it at the end. I wish I'd done that with my previous project.

It's gorgeous! I loooove the ornate wrought iron look too!
