Needlepoint

Siamese Cat

Siamese Cat needlepoint

Completion date unknown, best guess 1975
Painted canvas probably purchased from Lee Wards.

I think this is my first completed needlepoint picture. I did this project before I knew about the basketweave stitch and how to properly block and store woolen needlepoint. There is some damage to the item due to poor storage (missing stitches in the background and cat’s chest).
