Quick Update On Semiquincentennial Eagle

I finished the bunting yesterday afternoon and already started on the lettering.  I'll stitch on this later today and share another update when the "America 250" is done.

I sure hope somebody get some Kreinik #4 Braid in soon!  The Kreinik shortage is getting on everyone's nerves including mine.  It's my favorite metallic thread.  I was going to use #210 on this but it didn't show up well on the Light Taupe Lugana that I'm working on so I switched to #002 which looks much better on this fabric.  I have some but not sure I have enough to do the entire border.

New Cross Stitch Patterns Colorful Cats for March and July (America 250 Cat)

In December, I started a news series of Colorful Cats Cross Stitch Patterns.  One for each month of the year.  January and February were released a few weeks ago but now I have 2 more patterns but I didn't do them entirely in sequence.  

March of course has a Springy St. Patrick's Day theme complete with a few Shamrocks for good luck!!

But then I skipped to July.  There's a method to my madness. I wanted everyone to have time to complete the special America 250 cat in time for Independence Day.

 

These are now available for purchase.  Ask you favorite needlework shops for my patterns or find them here:  kittyandme.etsy.com
