THIS HOOP'S STORY

Cats and naps (and dreams and getting cozy) are highlighted here. Do you nap and where? Have there been times in your life when you’ve been more of a napper? And what’s your favorite cozy spot? This black cat is snuggled into pillows atop a crazy quilt. OR is the quilt actually a field of flowers in the cat’s dream? Let the edges of reality and dreams merge as you stitch this scene.

Every Stitched Stories kit includes a variety of stitches and motifs. There are small scenes you can complete in a sitting, all of them coming together in the finished project. Immerse yourself in the imagery, color, and classic embroidery stitches. Recall your life’s past stories and consider the new ones possible.

FAQs

Can I do this if I've never embroidered?

Yes. All the instructions you'll need are included. If you've never handled a needle and thread, it might take a while to get comfortable. Take your time, keep your thread length under 18", and just be sure you're not tangling things and that you're pulling the thread all the way through. Once you've got this rhythm established with simple straight stitches, you can keep adding to the stitches you've mastered. The stitching guides actually tell you which stitches to start with on a design if you're new to embroidery.

What can I do with my finished project?

You can finish it in the hoop and hang it or get a frame with a circular cutout and glass cover. My favorite thing to do is to finish the design in a nicer hoop and then display on plate stand or small easel. I add it to styled vignettes around my house.

Will the printed pattern wash out?

No. You may wash your finished project but the printed design will not wash away.

What's the difference between kits and fabric prints?

The kits include not only the fabric print but also floss, needles, a storage tin, and hoop. The fabric prints include just the fabric print and the stitching guide. You will need to supply hoop, needles, and floss.

REVIEWS

Catnap printed Embroidery pattern

The pattern arrived very quickly, along with instructions. Everything is high quality and nicely packaged. I chose the pattern only because I have a huge stash of threads and also dye my own floss. I’m planning to buy more patterns as time goes on. Thank you.

Love it

As a cat person this will be added to my pictures of my.favorite housemates.

Beautiful little sampler! Love the colors and directions were easy to follow. I've been stitching since the mid 1950s but took a lengthy hiatus to deal with life. Stitched stories is a great way to get back into the hobby.

Cute Kitty!

Love it; thanks!
