After seeing some great Christmas Garden finishes (Katrina, Lois and Marsha to name a few), I decided to get my Christmas Garden back out...

Christmas Garden
40 ct. Vintage Lt. Examplar, CC and GAST (1 over 2)

And I worked on Charlotte Clayton a little bit.  I have the outline of the orange kitty stitched.

Charlotte Clayton
40 ct. Vintage Sand Dune, NPI silks (1 over 2)

Speaking of kitties, I have to share a picture of Oreo, She was sleeping on a quilt my mom made years and years ago (all by hand).

    CG is so pretty. But I must resist...too many WIPs and not enough finishes in my stitching basket :( maybe someday! Oreo certainly knows how to pick a napping spot...nice comfy quilt made with love by "grandma"...who doesn't love that!

    That is one lucky kitten to find your home. I love it(girl or boy) also. I have always loved cats now I have a black cat with 3 white patches on the belly. His name is Shadow when he was small he followed us always. Now has a mind of his own.
    Those silks are beautiful I have never used silk. Is it easy to work with? Bonnie
