A delightful way to celebrate the beauty and charm of cats, this book offers over two dozen projects for cat lovers to express their devotion. Suitable for needleworkers of all skill levels, it includes essential information on fabrics, threads, hoops, needles, and concise instructions on basic stitches and techniques in cross stitch. Each project features step-by-step directions, a full-color chart, and alternative suggestions for working the design, along with a section on creating professional-looking finished pieces. For cat owners wanting to showcase photos of their pets, the book presents simple mats and personalized picture frames, along with a beautiful cover for a photo album. A Christmas stocking designed for catnip toys and treats allows for festive inclusion of the family pet, while a cat calendar serves as a charming reminder of a cat's special place in the home year-round.

Additionally, the book offers great gift ideas for cat enthusiasts, such as an address book adorned with a playful kitten, a paperweight with a tortoise-shell cat, and a tabletop screen featuring a contented cat in a cozy spot.
