Curled up cozily, licking their paws, ears perked attentively, fur shining: cats, domestic or wild, make graceful, beautiful subjects for cross-stitch. From a contented ginger tom dozing in a chair to a proud lion surveying the African plain, an imaginative range of projects captures their charm. Cross-stitch framed pictures, cushions, table linens, a footstool, fire screen, and cat toys. Among the enticing designs--a blue eyed Siamese kitten, a serval in foliage, a tiger portrait and more.

This review is from: Cats of the World in Cross Stitch (Hardcover)
This book has so many absolutely fabulous designs, it is a joy just to look at. They are almost all rather large and/or ambitious, but I have completed projects from earlier books by the same authors, so I know they turn out to be worth the effort. This book is an absolute must if you like cats (domestic or wild) and cross-stitch! I deduct half a point from the rating because the symbols for the three-quarter cross-stitches are not as clear as they are in, for instance 'Animals in Cross Stich', and another half a point for the colour charts which were much clearer when all the colours were numbered. Now the symbols, and especially the lack of symbols can make determining which colour goes where a little more difficult. Also, it is available only in hardback. Hardback may be more durable, but it makes using the book less practical. But overall a great buy!

Cats of the World in Cross Stitch,
This review is from: Cats of the World in Cross Stitch (Crafts) (Paperback)
I have other books by Jayne Netley Mayhew and Nicki Wheeler and I like every one of them. So far this is my favorite and I like how some of the designs can be used for needlepoint as well as cross stitch. It has designs with jungle cats as well as domestic cats and it is very hard to pick a favorite. Both ladies work very well with each other. I'm looking forward to their new book this month and want to collect all the books they will make in the future.
