Home is where the cat is K-220 Counted Cross-Stitch Kit

Stitch Home is where the cat is with this Merejka counted cross-stitch kit — a sampler-style design framed by a folk-art border of cat silhouettes and ornamental patterns, centered on a cozy house wrapped in sunflowers and red poppies with a white cat perched proudly out front and the phrase spelled out in script. Stitched on Zweigart 16-count ecru Aida fabric with premium DMC threads in 26 rich shades, this design captures feline personality with Merejka's characteristic rich detail.

Why this kit: 26 DMC shades bring warmth to the sunflowers, poppies, and folk-art border details; two chart versions — with and without backstitches — let you choose the level of fine detail in the lettering and cat silhouettes; the sampler format with wording makes it a distinctive statement piece rather than a plain floral or animal portrait.

Kit includes: Zweigart canvas, DMC threads, John James needles, and a colour chart.

Counted cross-stitch is worked by following the colour chart and placing each stitch on the gridded Aida fabric with the indicated DMC thread shade. The backstitch version sharpens the script lettering and the folk-art border outlines, while the no-backstitch version keeps a softer, blended look. Work section by section until the design is complete, then frame as a charming statement piece for any cat lover's wall.

Finished size: 27x43 cm (10.63x16.93 in) — an impressive large-format design that becomes a striking focal point on any wall. A delightful project for cat enthusiasts and a wonderful handmade gift for any crafter who loves cats.
