After 8 years lusting over this pattern, Garden Cat is finally complete!

This was the first pattern I ever really had my eye on when I was just a newbling, and now after restarting it last year, it’s done. I’m so happy, and as you can see way too overexcited to iron it properly before posting.

p.s. people on Lemmy this post has two pics attached so let’s see how those display (if at all) on your side. Yay science!

    It looks amazing! I love the colors and the art style! I’m on Jerboa for Lemmy and I only see one picture though

        All your stitches look so neat! I really need to switch to a different fabric once I use up all the 14 count Aida I bought

          I did the exact same thing tbh, in fact this pattern calls for darker fabric and some bits are meant to be stitched white, but Past Me only had this white aida so I had to sub out the white stitches for ecru to make them show up. Still, at least white goes with everything!

          Still have a load of the stuff lying around, although last year I “invested” in my first ever grab bag of fancy evenweaves and linens for a video, so need to actually start using those up too!

          Actually you know, that fabric haul might make for a good post of its own. Let’s see if I think on and take some photos next time I’m near it 😅

            The piece I’m working on now was supposed to be on black Aida, but no one in town carries it and the shipping to order it on Amazon cost more than the actual fabric, so I just decided to get a little more creative with it lol

    I love this cat! Looks great on the white Aida. Do you have any plans for displaying/finishing it?
