A plump cat out in the garden, a rake in one paw and a pot of red flowers in the other, with a bee buzzing past: a design from the Margaret Sherry Collection, instantly recognisable for its soft, humorous cats.
The finished stitching mounts into the card supplied and goes straight into its envelope, so it makes a quick handmade greeting for a birthday, Mother's Day or a thank you. It is worked in full cross stitch, with backstitch for the outlines and whiskers. Everything you need is in the box; just add a small hoop and a pair of embroidery scissors. If you prefer, the stitched piece can be framed instead of mounted in the card.
