When is a "Couch Potato" not a "Couch Potato"?

Hi there!  I don't need to tell you Dear Readers how wonderful Margaret Sherry's designs look when they are stitched up - we all know and love her cats, dogs, hedgehogs etc.  Well, I think I may have a first for you....

My husband is now a Margaret Sherry convert/lover as well but he isn't a cross stitcher - he is a quilter!  Recently he was going through some of my cross stitch mags looking for a small, simple design that he could turn into an appliqued quilt block.  He came across a number of suitable designs and tried out a couple of them, but then I showed him the 2009 Margaret Sherry calendar that came free with the "Cross Stitcher" magazine and he went into raptures.... well, sort of!  I'm pretty sure that he nearly started drooling over the cute little animals though!

Freebie from Cross Stitcher magazine 2008

He immediately picked out a number of them that he could transfer and use as an applique quilt block and the first one he has completed is the "Couch Potato" dog.

The orginal design looks like this.....

However, if you want to see what my hubby did with the couch potato you will have to go and visit his blog - Mark's Quilts.  I promise you it is worth seeing.  I am really surprised at how well it turned out!

So yet another source of pleasure is derived from Margaret Sherry's designs!

Til next time

Coffee and Cuddles

I was stitched this Coffee and Cuddles in 2009.

I modified Geboo and Gembil color to match their fur color hehehe....

My First Cat

Hello girls!
Did not I say that February had 31 days would have finished in time. But the truth is that the month had only 28 days and I was late in the SAL.
Today I finished my first cat. Despite not knowing what to make of it, liked the result.
I changed the outline color.
Apron> DMC 825
Book> Anchor 401
Cat> Anchor 352
Mouth, eyes, mustache, eyebrows> Anchor 359
Hat> Anchor 400
Because I made a big change, but it was to my liking, and you liked?
The right eye will remake the French knot he was crooked. Arghhhhh weird! Scary! Hehehehe
Bring on the Cat 2!
Good night, Ana

Already missing very little. Yesterday I could not sew, but today finalized the cross stitch. I hope to finish it between tomorrow and Friday! Let's see.

Good night, Ana.

My first SAL cat is ready!

Was late a little:)

First cat

I did not do much, but already started.
Rosário.

Cake, but no cat...yet!

So I’m not as far along as I wanted to be on my SAL considering it should have been finished today!  I normally don’t start outlining until I’m done, but thought I should so it could be seen better.  Still unsure about the colours of the cat, I think keeping the suggested ones will be easier than trying to change it to one of kitties!

I'm hoping to finish this by next weekend, then I get to decide which one to pick next.

Onward! Onward!
If the month had 31 days I think I would do the trick, but in February ended today!

I'm late! : /
