More Patch Cats

The Pink and Blue Cats are new, the Purple and Orange cats are an updated version.  I am assembling the 6 Patch Cats and mice as an example of the embroidery designs to support Stuffed with Fluff Quilt in Darcy Ashton's Claire's Cats Vol 2 book. 

It's all about the Cat eyes

When I first talked to Darcy Ashton about digitizing her Cats designs embroidery machines, it was important to have "great" eyes.  I had originally just did a satin fill, and then Darcy asked if they could have more of a sunburst look, as one of her students had hand embroidered eyes with a sunburst effect.  This makes them more realistic.  So I found the right settings for the Digitizing software and the EYES have it!   Of course I had to do one with 2 color eyes!

It is amazing how fabric choices and eye color just brings out the Cat's personality.

Let  me know what you think!

The mice have come out to play

These are the mice that are part of the Stuffed with Fluff Quilt in Darcy Ashton Claire's Cats Vol 2 book.  They stitch out in a 4" x 4" hoop and take less than 5 minutes each.  Also, using the flip vertical option on the embroidery machine, it is so easy to have the same design be the mirror image. 

Pat Campbell's Chelsea Garden

This is the first block in a series of 25 blocks that are part of Pat Campbell's Chelsea Garden.  This design fits an 8" x 8" stitch area.

Two more Patch Cats

There are a total of 6 Patch Cats in Darcy Ashton's Claire's Cats Vol 2 book, and as I finished my test stitch out of these two, I just had to post them.  It is so much fun to determine the color palette and see what personality comes out for each cat.  

Let me know what you think! 

Mice pictures will be coming soon to join the Cats!
