A cat in a tutu is worth a thousand words. Using the most common embroidery stitches, Cat Mania Embroidery puts your feline friends in wacky situations of the kind they'd probably get themselves into, given half the chance. Wide-eyed 'Who--me?' cats for every occasion--dancing, frolicking cats; cats in the air and in the water(!); and cats full of attitude who'll try just about anything once. Whatever the setting or situation, they have never been more adorable. With this book you'll make: Decor featuring adventurous cats in bottles, teapots and other tight spaces A wind chime of under-the-sea cats--even a mermaid (oops--mercat) A rather surprised airborne cat on a little pouch Cats actually making themselves useful for once, as bookmarks Cats in the bathtub, cats flying to the moon, cats dancing the hula, cats up to all kinds of lighthearted antics on even more easy projects.
