Dire Cats: Embroidery Done!

It is done! Well, the embroidery part anyway. Now I will make it into a banner wall hanging. This beast took months, I think because a lot of it was procrastinating. I knew what I wanted the design to look like, but I agonized over what colors should go where, what stitch, etc. The goldwork paw was tedious, but the result is just sublime! It's still on my sister-in-law's frame, so it's hard to see the top reads Dire Cats and below reads Fur & Purr. It's a little play on the Game of Thrones Targeryn house sigil. It will be a gift to the family that adopted two of my foster kittens.
