Re: GK Cat in a Window aka Holly UPDATE 11 Dec 2017
It was only when I came to roll my scroll frame up that I realised how long it's been since my last update. I'm now near the bottom of the penultimate row of pages and the bottom row is only half a page.
I have absolutely NO idea why it's upside down (I put it in the gallery and uploaded it from there - it's the right way up on my iPad). Anyone?

It looks great, even upside down. I have no idea why it got turned around and no idea how to rotate it. Maybe rotate it on your iPad and then upload to the gallery??? Good to see this one again. Looking forward to more updates!

ETA: Hurrah! After playing around with it, I've got it the right way up.

Re: GK Cat in a Window aka Holly UPDATE 1 June 2017
I recently had to scroll my frame up, which made me realise how much progress I've made on this. I'm getting close to finishing now - only about 30 more rows to go. I will really miss this little cat when he's done but I'm looking forward to taking him off the frame and seeing the whole picture for the first time. The next update will be the finish!

I love this one and am so delighted to see him again (or her?). The colors are so deep and warm. Looking forward to that next update!!!

Re: GK Cat in a Window aka Holly - FINISHED
Well, I finally put the last stitch in Cat in a Window yesterday evening and I'm thrilled with him. He's the first Golden Kite design I've done and I will definitely do more GKs, as it's been a joy to stitch. My next focus piece will be HAED Drawing Room (because it's DH's favourite), rotated with Stitchers Retreat, Lion Profile and Coniferous Forest until either Lion or Forest is finished, and only then will I allow myself a new start (we'll see how that plan goes … ). I must admit that I'm looking forward to not using blends and a laying tool for a while ...

Re: GK Cat in a Window aka Holly - FINISHED!
Your work is so beautiful, this foreigner lacks words to express how your cat in the window has charmed me. Mind you, I am a dog person, but some cats are really hard to pass by without falling in love with them. Your stitching is so perfect and neat. Very well done.
