King Kitty


Here it is.

Techniques used: photo transfer, raw edge applique, machine blanket stitch, machine embroidery, and free motion machine quilting.

Size 19-1/4" x 18-1/2"

My first idea was a land scape but when I found the fabric with the big kitties everything changed.

It looks more like it should have been done for #6-monochromatic.

  1. Hi Betty - This is a very charming piece. The size of the cats in proportion to the fireplace really works. The cats really stand out.

    One thought - I know your background is a photo on fabric. I wonder if the fireplace would pop out a bit more if you quilted some of the grout lines in a dark thread or even made some marks with a dark Pigma pen. The background seems a bit muted - as if it was far away from the cats instead of just across the room.

  2. Big Kitty....... my daughter would love this one!!
    I think along the same lines as Robera, the background is a little too soft, need a bit of definition and the idea of grouting and outlining the fireplace would probably be all it needs, keeping the cats in the fore and focal.

  3. Betty, i like what you have done with this challenge. I feel as if i am looking through a window.
    I too feel that perhaps the background needs a little more definition.
    Love the clock on the wall.
