Happy ~ Merry from Niggy
Nigella Shadow (Niggy), our Tortiseshell cat, asked me to post her Holiday Season Greetings to all our stitchers, as she’s been tied up with floss, fabrics, and removing those tasty sticky tabs from my pattern books.
Either of these designs, stitched on 20 ct fabric, could make a nice gift tag for another cat lover, or be used as the border on a special pillowcase … or in any number of other projects!
You might add silver floss, in place of one of the 2 blues used in her Hanukkah scarf, to be more appropriate and festive.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you, and Happy Stitching!
Remy & Niggy
P.S. Niggy reminded me that I’d left off her whiskers! She suggests that you add short white ones, like hers.

Too Cute!! Thanks for the post!
Thank you! I used to have a black tortiseshell cat, she died a few years back. Her name was Shadow, and was the quintessential cat from hell. LOL:::
