I've been eyeing up several of the Brittercup Designs (especially the Britty Kitties) and I decided to do one for Zoé's Christmas ornament for this year (she isreally into cats this year). The one I am doing is "Cat Christmas Tree" out of the JCS 2011 ornament issue. This is also my first try working with WDW threads and I am enjoying it. I'm stitching diagonally and I like the effect. I am using some kind of 30 ct white evenweave.
This is where the Autumn piece stands. I love it, except for the small Symrna crosses that make up the acorn caps (I like the stitch just fine but the small ones really get tight, stitch wise). I am using a 26 tapestry. I may switch to a 28 for the crosses and see if that helps.
That Autumm piece has really gorgeous colours!!!

I love the autumn piece too! Gorgeous colours which make a lovely contrast with the blues in the fabric.
