I originally kitted this up as a stitch in memory of Tom-Cat who passed away in July 2015.  I began working on it, but did not do much.  Then it sat and sat and sat.  I picked it up again in 2020 and was totally taken with the color pallet.  That got me motivated and once I began stitching as the design was revealed bit my bit, I liked it more and more.  Am most pleased with this.  The only change I made was the color of the whiskers from brown to white.  All my 'tigers' had white whiskers.

Framed July 2023

A very simple frame with stripes that echo the tiger's stripes.  Very pleased with the finished product. 


Several Turley Vultures up high.

And a Crow down low.

I've seen as many as four males.

An always adorable Black-capped Chickadee
