and this is the finished result....
The back stitching was a bit of a pain to do, I'm not a big fan of 'off the line' back stitching (I'm sure there must be a proper name for it, but I've no idea what it is!), especially on aida where I can never seem to split the fabric at the desired spot despite using a sharp sewing needle.

Your kitty is darling, and it was the backstitching that made it so. Therefore it was well worth it!! I just recently heard about Pinterest, and I guess I am going to have to go check it out. See what you did to me??
I love your kitty!

I have a Margaret Sherry Christmas ornie that I started last year and still haven't finished, and another one waiting in my stash! I only I would live long enough to finish up everything in my stash! LOL
This is the most adorable finish Rhona! Too cute! I love Margaret Sherry designs but I haven't stitched any in some time. This one is a real winner.
lovely finish :D
I've done one of those, but unfortunately forgot to take the picture before giving away ... might need to ask the person to get their camera out. It's a great design.
