A Sunny Sunday with Some Fall Cats

Fall Cats Kelley Belfast Pattern
Started the pattern I won from Kelley B's blog KanknChester giveaway! I hooked and reverse hooked a little already as you can see around the flower. Using a little of this and a lot of that! Some wide hand torn and odds and ends from my worm basket! I struggle with the primitive and my colors always end up.......well.......a little more Orange Sinkish! Ya think?!!

I'm lovin' this pattern Kelley! Thank-you sweet girl!

    It's such fun to do a piece when you just use scraps and left overs. Always surprising how great the piece gets. Have fun with this one,

    P.S. I've been wondering for ages where you came up with "orange sink" or is that a post I missed?

    Your little fall rug is wonderful and it's always amazing to find out that your personal palette works just about everywhere. It certainly does in this fun little mat!
