The basket of cats pattern is drawn by Laura. I have two Persian cats and I hooked this rug with them in mind. Louie is the sophisticated flame point while Odo is the ornary orange tabby. Their faces reflect their personalities for sure. When I finished this rug it needed something more so I decided to incorporate the colors from the rug and make a bright hit miss sqaure that framed it well I think and really made the rug come to life. Amazing what a border can do for your piece.
The Crewel is one of Katie's favorite to do and we named this after our grandmother Dorothy. The background is a primiary fusion spot dye that gives all the bright flowers personality I think. Hope you enjoy two of Katie's latest adverntures.

I love kitty rugs - my first and only rug so far was of my kitty. I especially love the border you did on this one.
ReplyDeleteBoth are great. I'm working on a rug now that has some squares on the bottom. I was going to do just that: incorporate the colors in a square hit or miss. Love the crewel pattern. I'm kind of obsessed with hooked flowers right now.
