The Cat and the Wisteria
 

This started out as a little exercise in architectural features ( a door) and ended up with 5 gazillion French knots.
But it should warm you up just looking at it. Thanks to the board members who passed on a few hints on doing all those knots..... And who doesn't love cats.

Beautiful work, well done.

I have yet to master a french knot. I bet you are a pro now! Love the subtle cat almost hidden amongst the thread play. I would have had trouble finding it if you had not posted the closeup!

It turned out great! Your kitty looks like he is contemplating a trip up the wisteria vine.:)

That is just stunning. I'm in awe!

very nicely done... and so much patience!

Fantastic! love the artistic work.

It's beautiful and you did a great job - especially with all those French knots!

That is just lovely. Well done.

Aw, how cute. I miss having wisteria. but I have 3 cats. lovely quilt!!

Hi! Have you Been to Provence? My husband took this photo of me seated in front of a private home inside the walled city of Aigues Mortes. Looks like your quilt, doesn't it?

Oh My Goodness! This is gorgeous!

I love wisteria! The smell is intoxicating. The only thing I don't like is it drops things all year to pick up and it will warp a fence completely out of shape as it grows thicker.

I really enjoy your picture mary kathrine. It is so European.

Very pretty. I use to do the french knots when I embroidered. Never that many at once.

Incredible work!

That must be the place! How lovely.

Very pretty, love it!

Awesome!!!

I love the way the cat is almost hidden in the coloration. Nice job.

Wow, I was able to enlarge the pic on my iPad and really see the detail. Great job!

Wow. Beautiful!!!!!!

Beautiful. I love that you used either varigated or a variety of thread colors for the flowers.

Beautiful! French knots are not that easy! Looks great!!!

marvelously well done.

That is one stunning piece of work!

beautifully done! love it! I know how you feel about the gazillion knots, I did a stained glass lamp shade in the wisteria pattern!

You do beautiful work.
On our way to Sudbury we have stayed in Guelph. If we do it again I just might have to look you up.

I agree, a beautiful wall hanging and the cat has mischief in his eyes!!!!!

I love wisteria plants. Your embroidered version is absolutely gorgeous.

Absolutely stunning:) Truly a work of art. Thanks for sharing.

such a delightful quilt, I bet you will never forget how to make a french knot.

I can not imagine making all those French knots. It is a beautiful quilt. Love the cat in the corner too.

OMG, all those knots! I love the composition and, of course, cats!

WOW wonderful job of knotting..I get twisted up with one...

Love the way some old posts are finding their way back. I love this quilt and all those knots were worth the time and effort.

Beautiful interpretation. I grew up thinking every place had wisteria in the back yard, or it should. It completely filled a large catalpa tree.
