Finished lady and cat. Quite pleased with the purple velvet now it’s exposed, it really makes the colours pop.
Her official title is “Lady and cat, patron saint of flea and worm treatments”
my brain has already moved on to the next idea though, so I’m bored with this now, and I can’t start the next big project for months because I have worky sewing to do.
This blog is solely for textiles, with a little bit of silversmithing now and then, and will mainly be for my historical stuff.
Please do not use my images or pin them without permission.
My interests range from ancient greek to tudor periods, and I tend to be an artisan rather than an academic - not that I don't do research, I just prefer getting my hands dirty.
I dye, spin, weave, sew and embroider, and have been doing so for several decades...

Very vivid on that dark velvet backing. Another one to be proud of, Tanya.
The dark background does make a huge difference – somehow it looks very alive!
She is fantastic. And also a very handy saint to have around.
This is such a lovely piece! I’m glad you did it. May all vats be flea and tick free…all dogs and ferrets, too. Like you, I sometimes can’t wait to finish a project just to go on to the next one. But then I want to try variations on the current or just finnished project, so I will never truly be done!
Beautiful! And it makes me smile whenever I look at it. 😸
