A Catte, as originally stitched by Mary Stuart<\/a>. This extant piece (RCIN 28224) has long intrigued me, and finally, I have decided that it is time to stitch it!

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My materials – a pile of silk thread and 32ct even-weave linen. This is the first project I have ever done using these materials! This is one of the first extant pieces of cross-stitch that we have, and I am thrilled to get started with it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was uncertain how to begin this project, so I took what I know of modern cross-stitch and went at it in the same method one would work a pattern modernly – from the center, out. After determining where the center of my fabric was, I began blocking in the brown for the cat’s main color…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I realized I made a HUGE error, in which I grabbed the wrong color for the fill stitches I started. Thus, I spent the afternoon pulling out virtually all of my work and starting again at ground zero! In frustration, I chose to do some outlines to break up the monotony of doing fill stitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Back to filling…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuing to fill in the pattern, sometimes switching to outline, and sometimes switching to color filling… At this point I have been studying many extant pieces, reviewing the stitching patterns and pondering the methods used, and how they differ from how cross-stitch is done today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
