This photo is of Kandace Merric's Medieval Cat in the Household Pet Guardian Angel series. I decided I would start stitching the set for the ANG Auction with this piece and have had a great deal of fun customizing her to my tastes. UPDATE: This photo is of the designer's model, not my cat. I used different colors and changed the wings. You'll see photos of my version starting tomorrow.
The cat is in colors and stitches chosen to evoke Medieval themes in the 14th Century. And of course this is an angel to look over household pets, specifically cats. She is on 18 count canvas (I used ecru but the color doesn't matter as long as you steer clear of black and navy and dark green and other colors that white wings will have trouble covering) and is about the size of my hand from wrist to finger tips.
Last night I emailed the instructions for the cat and dog pet guardian angels to the angels who are helping me with this Auction project by stitching an angel of their own. If you asked me for a cat or dog pattern and didn't get it, let me know and we'll figure out how best to resend it. I'm going to alternate between stitching Pet Guardian Angels (which I can do at night during the week when I'm tired) and my beautiful Three Ladies and a Peach from Squiggee Designs (which will be my weekend stitching when I have more time and energy to decide how to best bring this canvas to life). Stay tuned!
Note to the medieval cat pet guardian angel stitchers. This photo is clickable to a larger size if you need to see details. Anyone who wants to jump in and join the group stitching of this set, please email me at chillyhollow athot mail dotcom for details, deadlines, etc
