Contented Cat with Dark Green Background

The customer service and delivery in 3 days to Ottawa, ON Canada was amazing. I will be doing this project in memory of a precious pet, Picasso, that lost his battle with cancer recently.
I do enjoy the content of your daily emails.

Full circle

My latest EB kit is The Contented Cat, my eighth full-size kit, will be my next project. (I also have another unopened kit.) The irony here is that my first kit was The Cream Cat purchased at Bergdorf Goodman’s in NYC when EB was first marketed in US. I have also done 4
minis and 4 pieces from EB books. Full circle to EB’s other cat. Fitting for the New Year.

Barnaby

He looks real and cuddly, I can’t wait to finish him and putt him in the white arm chair.

Not a real cat, he would be miserable with my six dogs.

A lovely project.

Contented Customer

I bought this tapestry for my sister who is in a care home, she loves doing tapestries and was over the moon with this one. The colours were lovely and the size was bigger than she thought, so will keep her busy for quite a while. Thank you.
