Amazon.com Review
Calling all cat lovers! Prolific needlework designer Julie Hasler combines two of her favorite obsessions to produce a gallery of gorgeous needlepoint patterns depicting cats of many breeds in all their glory. Tabbies, Persians, Siamese, Angoras, and Oriental shorthairs cavort over cushions, door stops, wall hangings, bell pulls, greeting cards, trinket boxes, place mats--even a rug and a Christmas stocking. The beautiful full-color charts and accompanying photos capture the many moods of the feline persuasion at play and at rest, with well-chosen backgrounds to set off their colors, markings, and personalities. All the designs are worked in basic tent stitch, though the high level of detail necessitates some degree of needlework experience. All the grace and charm that makes cats so endearing shines through these striking designs. --Amy Handy --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
A delightful collection of more than 35 needlepoint designs for all cat lovers. A range of breeds, from the everyday tabby to the exotic siamese, are captured in this selection of endearing designs that show the beauty, grace and movement of one of our favourite pets. Projects range from cushions and footstools to bell pulls, pictures and box lids - a cat peering from every corner of the home. Smaller items, such as place mats, coasters and greetings cards allow smaller items to be stitched quickly. All the designs use simple tent stitch over a range of canvas sizes, and all the instructions are given for completing the projects, from easy-to-follow stitch diagrams to advice on preparing and caring for fabric, and making up instructions. Clear, symbol on colour charts throughout make this a must-have for all cat lovers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cat Lovers' Needlepoint, September 19, 2005
If you have at least intermediate needlepointing experience, you won't have any problems. However, beginners beware! The instructions for working the tent stitch on page 11 are appallingly incorrect. That aside, the charts are easy to read with a combination of color and symbols. Most of the backgrounds are repeats and would be easy to substitute for each other. The cats themselves are beautiful. Recommended for experienced needleworkers.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must have for the cat lover who needlepoints, April 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Needlepoint Cats (Hardcover)
Julie Hasler has captured the heart of the cat lover. When I look at needlepoint books the first thing I look for is a design of a cat, and to think here is a book with no cutesy cats. Each design reminds one of some cat one has known. The only problem is deciding which to make first. Keep doing more books, Julie Hasler!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Designs for Cat Lovers everywhere, August 23, 1998
This review is from: Needlepoint Cats (Hardcover)
A range of cat designs with a difference. Each cat has character and the backgrounds are superb. If you are a cat lover you will love it although you may be like me and find it hard to decide which one to create first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cats with Character to Make as Needlepoint
