Well this is my follow up to the castle. While on holiday in May we visited a couple of zoos and I love big cats so my next project was easily inspired. I have already started it and will post a picture shortly.

This is beautiful Nettie. I can't wait to see it progress. Tigers are so beautiful and this is such a lovely design.
Are you using alot of colours?

What a beautiful project nettie!

I love Tigers. This is going to be awesome.

Yeah this is going to be amazing, can't wait to see your progress!

Cant wait to see ur progress, such a lovely design.

What a lovely design I look forward to seeing your progress

Oh great, I like cats, big and small

Beautiful project, good luck with it!

There is about thirteen colours so not too bad really. I am quite enjoying at the moment but I am thinking I may regret the black.

The black can be a bit of a struggle at time but in the end the result is so great you just can believe it. I have done 3 projects the current one included in that number and although the black takes a bit more time I am alway well pleased with the finish.

Lovely project, Nettie...and what a luck with only 13 colors! Black fabric will surely be nice with your design.

I have a pair of leopards as WIP which has taken a backseat for a while...it has 84 colors! I'm almost halfway through with it but I recently got bored...I hope I could get back to it soon... ...and now I'm thinking that I should have used a black fabric...oh my, goodness!

Anyway, goodluck with your project...will wait to see it's progress!

I'm sure you're going to love the black! It may be a little harder to work on the darker fabrics, but the end result will be SO worth it and I honestly think you'll be pleased you did it.

I agree with threadbear, you'll question your sanity with the black whilst stitching but be so pleased with the results when you see the finished article-Is this a dmc deco design? I've just finished a tiger on black myself and planned to do this one(or one very very similar) to go with it but want to do lots of colourful ones for a while to give my eyes a rest!! Can't wait to see your progress!

I agree too, black is not too pleasant to work with but the finished article will be so lovely. The colours will stand out beautifully.

Well Netties you have given me the inspiration to do morre on my tiger WIP, i have had it for aboiut 2 or maybe 3 yrs and not done a ot with it but seeing you atart with yours has made me think again. I wih you all the luck doing it on black mine is on cream 14 ct and the stitches are so small so god knows what yours is like well done to you.............................

What a gorgeous design! I just love tigers and I think the black is going to really look amazing. Can't wait to see your progress!

I love cats of all sizes and this is a great design! I'm really looking forward to seeing this one progress

I think this one may take me quite sometime but here is my first progress piccy.

Great start I'm looking forward to this one
