It's been a million years since I updated...here's cat #3. Almost done!

As I mentioned in another thread, I did this one by dividing it into squares and then using a random number generator to determine which square to do next.

What a great idea to do it that way, breaks the monotony of that ddd confetti.
Its looking great :applesauce: :applesauce: and by the looks of things not far to go either.

A great series. DD was just in here and admired your work as well as the dear cats themselves.

Your babies are stunning and I can't wait to see your progress. I am also really sorry to hear that you have a sick cat – I hope he'll be okay. That second one down looks like a right wee character and full of mischief!!

OMG, all this!!

Your cats are stunning.

Thanks guys! I'm on the last square now, so you'll see a finished photo tomorrow!!

Unfortunately the sick kitty passed away last month. :( He was 17 years old and lived nearly three years with chronic renal failure. The kitty whose stitching will be finished tomorrow is his brother (also 17 years old) and is starting to be an old man kitty now too. :(

I'll put him in the frame with the others tomorrow.

One cat to go (Ada) but I'm going to take a short break and work on another piece before starting on her. :)
