Slow Stitching - cat squares - Q2, Row 6 - 1 to 5


 I have finished another set of slow stitched cats!!  It has been a while since I posted these ones.  Seems I might have missed blogging row 5 - will have to check on that.  
I tried a few new stitches and arrangement of them on these squares.  I like to change things up a bit when I am doing my stitching.  For the first one, I added red crosses on the edges of the first one and then added a green stitch across the middle then filled in the space with orange running stitch.  For the second I added blue crosses on the edge and yellow stitches across the middle of them.  I filled in with yellow stab stitches.   For the third one, I did wonky orange stab stitches in several sizes all around the edge, added a double row of running stitchin orange around the cat  and then filled in with purple running stitch.  I also added white french knots to the dots.  For the fourth one, I ran a double row of running stitches in yellow around the edge, added triangles in yellow outside of that row and then added blue triangles inside with one french knot in the middle.  Finished off the edge with wonky orange stab stitches in between the tops of the triangles.  For the fifth one, I added long stab stitches all the way around in green a bit apart and then added short stab stitches in between.  Added a row of  triangles all the way around in blue running stitch.  It continues to be a fun project and I have started on the next row.  Therese
