Cats Alphabet 27/08

Finally after 4,099 days I have finshed the Cats Alphabet.  All it needs now is a good wash and framing.

Finally I've finished all the crosses, the only bits left now are outlining 4 cats, 1 letter, 12 sets of whiskers and 42 mice!  After 11 and a bit years it should be off the frame in a few days.  When I first started this design it was taking me about 3-4 days to do a cat so I didn't expect to still be stitching so long after starting.

It's getting there very slowly, this is being put to one side for a couple of weeks as I'm trying to finish the Cats Alphabet.

I started this project on 6/6/99 and thought I'd get it finished quite quickly well 11 years later I'm still stitching it and will admit that until about 5 days ago I hadn't stitched on it for well over a year.  The end is in sight as there is only the border to finish now and the back stitch mice and cat whiskers.  I've put it on the floor frame and although it's a bit big and finding somewhere to stand it so it's not in the way is awkward, I am finding it much easier to stitch on now.  Hopefully it'll be up on the wall before long.
