I like Bones from Stacy Nash but know I will have trouble stitching all that black. Using black linen wouldn't work since the edge of the cat's body would not be defined, but I guess I could use gray floss to outline the cat. So how about black perforated paper? Not a lot of stitching at all, easy to cut out the shape, black felt glued to the back. I have Kogut's chart of Santas done on black paper, wonder where that is.
I found this started project, decided to finish it. I may do the nose in a black triangle. On 40 count Murky with my conversion to dmc, 976 and 3826.
The nearly dead petunias I cut back to a few inches are still growing, no frost yet to destroy the impatiens.
A good day to scrub the bird feeders.
Hope you're enjoying this weekend of Fall.

Jolly Jack is adorable.
Your flowers still look amazing! Mine not so much. Note to self…cut back next year like Marly did 😊
You should definitely finish Jolly Jack, Marly. Your flowers look great yet! It’s funny because some of my summer flowers are really nice, but the mum’s not so much! It’s been too warm for them here! Enjoy the nice day. I’m headed out to do the same as you….clean the bird feeders! Cherie in WI
Hi Marly: I do like the black cat but do not like stitching on black fabric, maybe I could do it on brown fabric. love the floral photos, Jolly Jack is so cute, glad you found him and working on him.

I bought Bones as soon as he was released...but haven't kitted or stitched. Make ya a deal...I'll stitch two on black one for each of us if you finish them for us. (But make your decision asap as the eyesight isn't a given from day to day anymore.)
