Dire Cats Complete!

It is done! As in really, really done! I have gifted it to it's recipient long past. It was a gift to the family who took two of my foster kittens in. I feel like i agonized over every detail of this piece instead of just diving in which I've done with every piece before this. From stitch to thread color to thread thickness, I considered every single second I stitched. It was exhausting, but so much fun! Bright check goldwork that fills the paw was a little fiddly, and I need to get a set of metalwork scissors in order to cut it more precisely. I think my favorite part about this was the Blind hem stitch I used to attach the muslin backer! It had been years since I had even seen the blind hem, let alone done the stitch! I don't know that I ever had. A few youtube videos and a few tries and restarts had me stitching away though!
