Cats of the World in Cross Stitch
, by Jane Netley Mayhew and Nicki Wheeler
Curled up
cozily, licking their paws, ears perked attentively, fur shining: cats, domestic or wild, make graceful, beautiful subjects for a cross-stitch. From a contented ginger tom dozing in a chair to a proud
lion surveying the African plain, an imaginative range of projects captures their charm. Embroider framed pictures, cushions, table linen, a footstool, fire screen, and cat toys. Among the enticing
designs—a blue-eyed Siamese kitten, a serval in foliage, a tiger portrait, and more. 8 1/4 X 11. 128 pages. Hardcover. Barnes and Noble.
