Cattitudes Round Robin: happy dance

I finished stitching my square on Gemma's Cattitudes Round Robin fabric yesterday!



Her fabric is a lovely café-au-lait colour (a bit darker than on the picture)... It brings out the ginger and browns so well! That's why I decided to stitch a ginger Cattitude rather than a black & white one. (not that the other B&W cats on her fabrics aren't lovely, though! But the warm coffee fabric just made me want to stitch in warm colours).
Gemma asked us to choose among the cats from Margaret Sherry's Cattitudes Calendar, and I finally chose one I had already stitched on my own fabric last January. Couldn't help it - this one is among my favourites! Besides, most of the other ginger kitties from the Calendar were already stitched. Which shows that our round robin is drawing at an end, and that we will soon all receive our own fabrics!

Everyone have a good week!

Looks like the kitty is doing a happy dance with you! Very cute, Isabelle!

Becky's needle case looks incredible. I wish I had her finishing talents. You are lucky to have such a wonderful friend!

BTW, where did you get the stress-killer skirt pattern? I'd love to make one. I love to wear light and airy skirts like that one.

Also, Becky's needlecase is amazing. You're so lucky! :-)

What a super idea for a Round Robin! I am going to suggest a kitty one for the Cross Stitch group I am in. We are doing a Christmas one at the moment, so I will put a message on the board as a suggestion for next year. Your stitching is so neat, Isabelle!

Dear Isabelle, What an enchanted world seems to flow around you...intricately stitched treasures, and wonderful friends. Its a blessing to have made your acquaintence through blogging. Your comments about self-portrait Tuesday were very (too) kind. If I ever post a picture of myself thats clear...I'll let you know = ). You are the one that is beautiful and vibrant and has the biggest heart for others!! I love coming over and seeing all the things you have made and so beautifully. I recently got a new sewing machine and haven't gotten to try it out yet. We've been replacing the carpet in the sewing room...(work, & more work =)..but I'm looking forward to sewing Something!! soon. Loving wishs for a pleasant week to you !

Congrats on your happy dance - I love all the Cattitudes - it seems like a lifetime ago that I stitched Cautious cat myself for the Cattitudes Round Robin.
