Dogs and Cats - Part 2
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday--I know I did! And this morning looks more like White Friday on the Cape, with big, fat snowflakes twirling around. Any holiday shopping I might do today will be from the comfort of my own home!
Just to give you an idea of where I'm going on the "Zoo" canvas, I've started the outside border background with a T-stitch using DMC #5 perle cotton. The inside border background is being worked in basketweave with three strands of DMC cotton floss.
The paw prints are being stitched in an interlocking/encroaching Gobelin stitch with Felicity's Garden: Cast-Iron Black for the dog prints and Baby Squirrel for the cat prints. So far, so good!

The t-stitch is my new "go-to" stitch. Love the way it adds texture without a lot of mental gymnastics.
