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.
