Embroidery

This was a kit I bought nearly 30 years ago.

I had had surgery on my left shoulder so that for a month or more afterwards I could move the fingers of my left hand but do very little else with that arm. So I ended up doing this embroidery to pass the time.

It is a crewel embroidery kit and I'm afraid the photograph is not as clear as I would like. The cats are worked in split stitch. I did the mother cat's face about four times before I was happy with the way the fur lay.
