The Purrrfect Day

A group of cats posing under a flowery arch, with rose posies and blue bows: a wedding keepsake designed by Margaret Sherry, with a central band to fill in with the couple's names and the date (the ones in the photo are just an example). Everything needed for the stitching is in the kit, threads included.

The fabric is not printed, so the design is counted from the chart; alongside the kit it helps to have a hoop or frame and a small pair of embroidery scissors. Backstitch outlines the shapes and the lettering, while French knots add texture to the flowers. The frame is not included: once finished, the piece can be mounted and framed as a wedding or anniversary gift.
