Slow Sunday Stitching--see more great handwork happening on Kathy's Quilts Blog in her weekly linkup.
The DMC Cat Kit stitch is nearing the end.
I added the dark crosses in the body and tail, the eyelashes, and started on all the white. The kit calls for 3 strands for this color so it is slower going. I'd say I am about halfway through all the white. The last step is to add surface embroidery to the design for more detail. Such a fun stitch.
The quilt of the moment got thread tails dealt with and the binding made. I found two more pinwheel blocks that were missing a section of ditch stitching, so took care of that. Then I hand trimmed the excess batting and backing away. I plan to apply the binding to the back and machine stitch it down on the front. So happy this top I completed in May 2020 will have a new home soon. Pattern is Summer Breeze from the Scrap Basket Surprises book by Kim Brackett.
Tomorrow for Design Wall Monday I will show the next Kim Brackett quilt that has been waiting a turn to be made!

The cat cross-stitch is so much fun! I really love the colors you've used. Such a pretty quilt you're finishing up now, too. The 30s fabrics are so sweet!
Lovely bright colours in the cat and your quilt!
Your kitty cat stitch is as cute as a button and your quilt is just as delightful. Love the fabrics. Have a great week and happy quilting.
