The Accidental Embroiderer

Two little free cats

Judging from the response to the recent cat designs I’ve posted, there are a good number of cat lovers among blog readers. So – here are a couple of free ones for your collection. They’re very old designs – I must have done them more than 10 years ago – but they’re none the worse for that. They’re quite small, for the 4×4 inch (100 mm x 100mm) hoop, because I did them in the days when you couldn’t get hoops more than a few inches across. I certainly wouldn’t limit myself to that size today!

The Black Cat

They’re all embroidery (no applique) and once again I’m not bothering with worksheets as they’re pretty self-explanatory. All you have to do is follow the colour instructions and you should end up with something much like the stitchouts

Here's the black cat, in .pes v.6, and here's the brown cat, in the same format

  1. Thank you for those lovely cats. Not sure whether I wrote something like this before, but I really apreciate (adore) the animal designs you are creating! They have plenty of soul unlike manmy of the comercial designs one can get elsewhere.

  2. Oh!! Mia, these are FANTASTIC. I can see straight away I will experiment with the eyes, I have also had another thought for them. Shall show you soon if it works. The new stitchwork technique will really set these cats above all. LOVE ! LOVE ! what you have done with these two cat designs. Thank you for thinking of us all with the free designs.

  4. Hi Mia, OMGosh! These cats are just Spectacular!! Your animal designs always have such a realistic style that makes them so special.

  5. I love cats, and can’t have any because of my husband’s allergy, so I need photos and such wonderful embroidery designs as these. Your animals all show personalities, through their eyes or poses. The black one seems to have heard the can opener, and is on alert for his dinner. The shaded brown one looks like such a sweet girl, turning her head to let you know she loves you! Thank you so much for sharing! They will be under my needle very soon.

  6. I do indeed love me some moggies and these are some fine moggies indeed! Thank you for not just one, but two lovely puddies.
